A top price for John G. Alden

In July 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime, which included the work A yacht design for an auxiliary shooner yacht by John G. Alden. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,800.00 (€ 1,312.81), 20% above the upper estimate. With this result, A yacht design for an auxiliary shooner yacht is even the most expensive work of art by John G.
