These three oil paintings of Grimsby trawlers fetched £35 as a single lot when they went under the hammer at a sale in Louth last week. This sum was at the higher end of auctioneer John Taylors' pre-sale estimate of between £20 and £40. The paintings are all by a Scottish artist, George Murray, two of whose other trawler paintings are held by the Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby. The identity of the buyer has not been revealed.
