Auctioneer Richard Bromell commented on the pictures, “They come from a Somerset deceased estate, and were collected over a number of years by a retired Royal Navy Fleet Arm officer who had a huge love of the sea and sailing ships.”

He has won numerous awards, appeared in many magazines and his pictures are for sale not only in the UK but also in America.

Included in the collection of pictures by Terry Bailey there are watercolour drawings titled Deliverance off St Mawes, August Sailing off St Mawes, and Off Carrick Nath Point St Mawes, which are estimated to sell from £200 to £600.
