His collaboration with Capt Parry Hughes on a book about the Menai Straits showcases his photography skills. The mention of Nellists Nautical Academy in Newcastle on Tyne brings back memories of a unique institution with successful outcomes, despite the founders not having been to sea themselves. It's fascinating how various individuals contribute to maritime education and leave a lasting impact.Wasn't Terry Beggs Captain Superintendent of the Indefatigable shore scholl at Llanfairpwll, Anglesey. I think I am right ! If so, he and Capt Parry Hughes published a wonderful book on the Menai Straits - full of graet photos which terry Beggs took. I understand he was a very good photographer.
Regarding lecturers, not many of you will remember Nellists Nautical Academy in Newcastle on Tyne. I studied for 2nd Mate there in 1946 or 7. Neither of the two brothers had ever been to sea but their success rate was the best in the country.
