Antique Collector - Marine and Naval Antiques |
Marine Antiques.
The British fascination for all things marine stems from our Naval history. The British Isles have had to repel 50 separate invasions in the past, and except for air attack during WWII all of these came across the sea. Because of luck, the British Navy, our coastal defences or a fortuitous stormy sea they were successful in maintaining the portrayal of Britain as an island fortress, impregnable since 1066.
From cannons to chronometers, flags to scrimshaw, and ships compass to the Captains log, military and merchant shipping regalia is of huge interest to collectors, never more so than since the movie, Titanic, came to the screens.
