A charity auction of shipping memorabilia has raised £2,100 for Southampton's Mission to Seafarers.

The most expensive lot, at £100, was a framed copy of Lord Nelson's obituary which appeared in The Times newspaper.

Other items under the auctioneer's hammer included limited edition prints, cruise ship menus and souvenirs, models of vessels and maritime books.

Items for the auction were donated to the Mission to Seafarers by local Southampton shipping lines, maritime organisations and private collectors.

The money raised by the event will help pay for the new organ which was installed in the Mission's chapel at Queens Terrace before last Christmas.
