Douglas coat of arms      

 

4th Lt John Douglas, RN

A Lt John Douglas, from the Bellerophon, is attributed with being put aboard the prize ship Bahama after the Battle of Trafalgar.

The Bahama was taken in tow with several hundred Spaniards on board, but was cast loose in a storm, and was only saved when a 5th anchor was found in the hold and used to stop the ship running aground.
