Peter’s father, Charles Sabine Thellusson was one of the foremost yachtsmen of the mid-19th century. His yacht, the 'Aline', by Camper & Nicholson in 1860, was highly influential in the design of racing yachts. He later owned two of the largest yachts ever built, the 'Guinevere' and 'Bodicea'. Some of these yachts and their competitors were photographed by Peter, an accomplished amateur photographer. After his father’s death in 1885, Peter commissioned his own yacht from Camper & Nicholson, the 'Albion', choosing it to be the backdrop for his portrait. He inherited Brodsworth Hall, which his father had built, but as he and his wife Elizabeth Sinclair McDougall had no children, it then passed to his brother, Herbert.
