Our fall Marine and Military sale features the lifetime collection of the late Captain Philippe Iskander Georges. Captain Georges was born in Heliopolis, Egypt, in 1937. Captain Georges was at sea for 17 years travelling to every corner of the globe: from the Far East to Scandinavia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. On coming ashore in 1969, he continued his career with Saguenay Shipping in Montreal, and later with Canadian Pacific. He was a lover of antiques and an avid collector of maritime paintings and memorabilia. Captain Georges was a larger than life personality and passed away in 2020. His collection includes some exceptional ship models, half hulls, paintings, and related memorabilia. He always hoped his collections would advance the awareness and appreciation of maritime life. Pridham's is also pleased to to offer other fine inclusions from like-minded collectors in the marine and military collecting areas.
