Renowned photographer Ken Becken has a collection of photographs for sale. «The pictures depict major sailing milestones of the 20th century and the major competitions of the past years - the America's Cup» and the Olympic Games - as well as all the regattas that took place in the waters of the Solent Strait.
All of the photos were taken by members of Beken's family - his father Keith Beken and grandfather Frank, who worked under the Beken of Cowes brand.
Most of the images are black and white and have been valued at £3.5 million. A slightly smaller selection of colour images are for sale at £1.5 million. The total number of photographs on offer to collectors is around one million.
