The following is from
William O'Byrne's Naval Biographical Dictionary: -
The Honourable George Henry Douglas, born 5 Oct. 1821, is second
son of the Earl of Morton, by Frances Theodora, eldest daughter of
the Right Hon. Sir Geo. Henry Rose, G.C.B.; brother-in-law of
Viscount Milton; and nephew of Commander Hon. Arthur Jas. Douglas,
R.N.
This officer was officially noticed for his services on
the coast of Syria, when Midshipman of the Carysfort 26, Capt. Henry
Byam Martin.
He passed his examination 29 July, 1841; served
afterwards in the East Indies on board the Thalia 42, Capt. Chas.
Hope, and Wanderer 16, Capt. Geo. Henry Seymour; and, on 22 Oct.
1844, was promoted to his present rank, while in the Victoria and
Albert yacht, Capt. Lord Adolphus FitzClarence(1).
His
appointments have since been – 16 Nov. 1844, to the Caledonia 120,
flag-ship at Devonport of Sir David Milne – and, 11 March, 1845, to
the Hibernia 104, bearing the flag of Sir Wm. Parker, under whom he
is now serving in the Mediterranean.

illegitimate child of Prince William, Duke of Clarence (later
William IV) and his mistress, Dorothy Jordan. His cousin,
William Grant Douglas,
later a Royal Navy captain, also served on the V&A.
