A committed shipping enthusiast from his youth, a keen photographer and and early radio operating technocrat, he left college at 16 and by 21 was the shipping editor for the Cape Times. His tenure of the position began as the last vestigaes of ocean-going commercial sail were still spreading their clouds of canvas, as he approached retirement the container/bulk carrrier revolution and the advent of huge tankers was well underway. His biography is studded with interesting recollections of campaigns waged (some won, some lost), of shipwrecks and salvage, of watherfront and shipping characters and notables, his experiences on low-level flights in maritime reconnissance aircraft during WWII, his part in the exposure of a major coal/shipping scandal and constant battles with officials over port facilities and projects.
