The sale also includes a section of Maritime interest and of note is (Lot 240) Reuben Chappell's oil on board captioned Lewisham of Bideford, Captain J Slade, no doubt a vessel that plied it's trade on both sides of the Bristol Channel, where the products of Cambrian Works at Swansea (Lots FS13/378, FS13/379, FS13/380, FS13/390, FS13/392) or the collection of architypal Welsh love spoons (FS13/409-418) would have been familiar.
