"It was lin 1965, that John Stobart first visited the United States with four paintings of sailing ships, carefully wrapped up in brown paper and tied with string, under his arm. His idea was to see New York and find out what reaction there might be to his new paintings among four carefully chosen galleries. The Wunderlichs encouraged Stobart to pursue his notion to recreate the American harbor scene in the days of the great clipper era. Seeing his large new originals disappear into private collections throughout the United States, Stobart initiated the idea of publishing limited edition prints of his more important works. In 1986 a large format book on his work titled, "STOBART, The Rediscovery of America's Maritime Heritage" was published by E. P. Dutton, New York, displaying some seventy-five major paintings in what amounts to an exhibition in portfolio form."

Cat five

No force of land, sea, or sky ever equalled Claudine! Yet the Palm Beach jet-setters and spoiled rich, the con men and the careless lovers, make jokes about the raging fury headed straight for them. Then Claudine hits. Water rises at an astounding rate. Tiger sharks slip through now-panicked crowds, buildings explode and are ripped away. And as Claudine's victims frantically struggle along roads that go nowhere - or into luxury towers rising out of the sand - they cling to lives that take on a new meaning as their world tumbles down around them.
