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].

V&A was a regular visitor at Cowes Week where she is depicted here in Langmaid’s etching, together with the Guardship ( a battleship of the Queen Elizabeth Class) and Trinity House Vessel PATRICIA. The Yacht’s distinctive profile with those three impossibly tall masts from which floated huge Court Flags graced the many Fleet Reviews and other nautical pageants held during the period, and those who served in her invariably cherished their time on board. She never recommissioned after the Second World War and was broken up in the Gareloch, Scotland in 1954 once BRITANNIA was safely commissioned. Etching size: 12.5 x 7 ins (32 x 18cms). Mounted : 18 x 13 ins (46 x 34cms) approx.
