Notes
Sport
Was born in 1857. Boat-sailing is practically his only sport. He visited the Far East and sailed curious craft, including a Bermuda-rigged yacht in the Mediterranean.It is chiefly with the canoeing branch of nautical sport that he as been associated. For over 28 years he has been a member of the Mersey Canoe Club, and has been Vice- and Rear-Commodore of the British Canoe Association, and Captain of the Hoylake Sailing Club. He is the author, among other nautical publications, of a book on "Camping Out" and of the "Canoeing" volume of the All-England series of Sporting Manuals.
For many years he was devoted to single-handed sailing, and cruised alone in canoe yawls. In 1891, Anderson, of Millom, built the cutter "Seaweed", 20 tons, in which he cruise about the West of Scotland and in the English Channel. In 1925 he bought his present yacht "Rona" yawl, 44 tons, built by Stow and Son, in which he made extensive cruises off the English Scottish, and Irish coasts.
