Turner (left) and MR Associate
Publisher (and Cincinnati Bengal fan)
Greg Trauthwein. A friendly wager was laid on the first round NFL play-off game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Turner's
Steelers won, and I "paid up" during a recent visit to W&O Supply in

Maritime Art Sales Hit Record at Christie's
A recent Maritime sale at Christie's New York totaled $3,361,680, achieving the highest ever total for a maritime sale at Christie's. During the proceedings, a new world auction record was set for Montague Dawson. Marie Kotsonis,
Maritime Picture Specialist and Gregg Dietrich,
Maritime Models, Ephemera and Scientific
Instrument Specialist, Christie's Americas, said “Today's auction achieved the highest total ever for a Maritime sale at Christie's. The buoyancy of the market brought new private clients to the category, competing with our established clien- telle. Most importantly we are ecstatic about the new Montague Dawson record price for lot 295, depicting the action between the Shannon and the Chesapeake. Bringing an outstanding result of $486,400."
