The Maritime Prints business is for sale. At 78 yrs of age and after 26 years I’ve reluctantly concluded that I need to draw stumps. But a huge amount of love and effort has gone into the project so it needs to go to someone who can lavish a similar amount of care on it - it’s been a hugely rewarding business. Is there anyone out there who would like to take it on? Please contact Rick Cosby on 01460 63776 or [email protected].

This beautiful watercolour is a reminder of how impressive these wooden walls were when actually at sea with all sail crammed on: they are relatively poor things when caged in a dry dock and with all sails furled. Painted three years before his death in 1931, the 48 year old Cull was possibly joining the clamour of artists who were busy painting VICTORY: after 6 years in dry dock and considerable restoration she was, we are told, starting to look her old self again. As always, Cull’s seas and skies add greatly to the effect of this watercolour and the detail of upper deck activities is bonus.
