Can you put a ship inside a Klein bottle?

  All ships actually are already in all Klein bottles.

  Klein bottles have no inside, so no. Either that or everything is in every Klein bottle.

    That would still be a no because no ship can be put in a Klein bottle if every ship is already in the Klein bottle.

    Well no, but actually yes.

  I’d ask the inverse. What definition of “inside” can you apply to a traditional bottle–so as to say that a ship is inside the bottle–that could not also be applied to a Klein bottle. Both of them have a single opening that leads to an enclosed volume.

  A Klein bottle may only have one surface, and therefore you can argue it has no topological inside. But a traditional bottle is topologically equivalent to a flat disc, so the same logic would say you can’t put a ship inside one of those either.
