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].

Wearing Court Flags and the Canadian Red Ensign (Canada’s National flag until 1965) at the mizzen this delightful painting of HMY BRITANNIA is clearly associated with some stage of the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway in the summer of 1959. Research to refine the exact location and date of this painting continues: former Royal Yacht Officers and Yachtsmen have already helped and it is hoped to enlist advice also from those who served in HMS ULSTER, HMCS GATINEAU, HMCS KOOTENAY and USS FORREST SHERMAN who variously provided escort to HM for this momentous event. Details therefore to follow!
