BALDWIN HUGH GRENVILLE MALET (1948), cousin of KR Anderson
(1948), was a waterways explorer, writer and teacher who played a pivotal
role in rekindling interest in the canals of the British Isles through his travels
and books. On board his 16-foot dory Mary Ann, Hugh explored the
waterways of England and Ireland and became a well-known author. It is in
part thanks to his efforts in raising awareness of the historic value of the
waterways in the British Isles that they are now being preserved, a
preservation which was in no way assured in the 1950s when Hugh started
exploring them.
