Captain Andrew Douglas, commander[edit]

I have not been able to verify the following:

Papers on the 'The case of Captain Andrew Douglas, late commander of her Majesties ship the Norwich' are at Kress Library of Business and Economics, Harvard University. In June 1706, he appealed his conviction at court martial claiming the evidence had been given by some of the idleest seamen for his treatment of them during a voyage to the west indies, where he was commander-in-chief of her majesty's squadron, when he conveyed a considerable fleet of merchant ships to England in safety. He had been dismissed from command of the Norwich and lost his rank of captain. He claimed previous faithful service in Jamaica and Ireland. The outcome of his petition is not known.
