Tynwald has paid tribute to Captain Andrew Douglas.
The former MHK for Malew and Santon passed away on Friday, in the Island's hospice.
He was well known as a former Steam Packet captain and editor of the shipping magazine Sea Breezes, as well as being an MHK between 2002 and 2006.
President of Tynwald Noel Cringle said Captain Douglas was a Manxman 'through and through' and told a story which, he said, summed up his quiet determination to 'get the job done':
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
But health body 'committed to openness and transparency'
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Opportunity to work at 'heart of Island’s constitutional and ceremonial life’
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Investigations continuing after incident which destroyed fire engine
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
