Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME PICTURES AND WATERCOLOURS, which included the work Steam Yachts: Maria; Albion; Athena; Ulva And Maria (One Illustrated) by James Scott Maxwell. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 780.00 (€ 1,156.01), 30% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by James Scott Maxwell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Two albums of watercolours of ship portraits including; The American steamships St Paul and Haverford (one illustrated); and The American yacht Erl King in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,633.92).

Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME PICTURES AND WATERCOLOURS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Steam Yachts: Maria; Albion; Athena; Ulva And Maria (One Illustrated) von James Scott Maxwell zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 780,00 (€ 1.156,01) und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von James Scott Maxwell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Two albums of watercolours of ship portraits including; The American steamships St Paul and Haverford (one illustrated); and The American yacht Erl King im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.120,00 (€ 4.633,92).
