Can you solve this picture mystery?

 Four names appear on the bottom left hand corner, Joe Maddern, Dick Ro??ns,Ellie Hooper and Dennis Renfree........
of this small watercolour - on the transom is the boats name Four Boys and underneath that the letters DWB - CA in capital letters - the boat looks like an American shrimper a la Forest Gump.  The picture is dated with what looks like 6/14/'72 which would suggest that the artist was American.  Given that the painting has appeared in a shop in Penzance and three of the names are 'local' can anyone throw more light as to the provenance of the work?
