Papirbåden er lavet af billedhuggeren Erik Heide.
Papirbåden, der sejler midt på åen i Eventyrhaven, får ofte de forbipasserende til at tænke på H.C. Andersens eventyr om "Den Standhaftige Tinsoldat". I fortællingen om den et-benede tinsoldat, der er ulykkeligt forelsket i en danserinde, finder to drenge nemlig tinsoldaten på gaden: "Se du! Der ligger en tinsoldat. Han skal ud at sejle." Og så gjorde de en båd af en avis, satte tinsoldaten midt i den, og nu sejlede han ned af rendestenen," skrev Andersen og sendte den stakkels tinsoldat til søs.
Papirbåden er trods sit navn af mat rustfrit stål.
The Paper Boat was made by Artist Erik Heide.
The boat, "sailing" in the lake in the Fairytale Garden, often makes visitors think of the tale of the Steadfast Tin Soldier.
In the tale about the one legged tin soldier, who is hopelessly in love with a ballerina, two boys find the tin soldier on the street: "Look, there is a tin soldier, let us make him go sailing." And so they did, in a boat made of a folded newspaper, they sent the tin soldier sailing in the gutter.
Despite the name, the boat is made of non-gloss stainless steel.
