| Notes |
- He was a well-known character on the St. Lawrence from 1825 till 1845. He belonged to an old-seafaring family, several members of which commanded sailing ships on the St. Lawrence. Captain Douglas acquired his intimate knowledge of the Lower St. Lawrence as sailing master to Captain Bayfield on His Majesty's Surveying Ship "Gulnare." He also commanded a river steamer between Quebec and Montreal.
'brought over the Unicorn as the first vessel of the Cunard line in 1840, and commanded her for some years while she was in commission on the St. Lawrence River.'
