Die Arbeit H.M.S Superb off the entrance to the Grand Harbour, Valetta von Luigi Galea wurde im November 2010 in der Auktion Maritime Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.838,12) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Luigi Galea auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Mediterranean fishing craft off the Maltese coast im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.285,00 (€ 11.689,74).
