Biographical history

Captain Everett MacDougall was born in 1858 in Maitland, Nova Scotia. He was raised and educated in the community and married Louise C. Tupper of Truro, with whom he had at least two children.

MacDougall was born into a sea-faring family; both his father, Alexander MacDougall, and his brother, Hebert, were captains. His first voyage was in 1877. He sailed on a number of ships throughout his career, including the Sherwood, Gloaming, William Douglas (where he assumed his first command in 1886), Snow Queen, R. Morrow, Strathmuir, Sellasia, and the Trebia.

After retirement, MacDougall briefly operated a wholesale/retail store in Halifax with two partners, but sold his share in the business after a year. He then moved to Winnipeg, where he captained a small passenger boat on the Red River, worked in real estate, and eventually settled into a career in the insurance business. While in Winnipeg, MacDougall also helped to found the Cutty Sark Club, a social group where former mariners could meet and talk about sailing and past adventures. He died in 1938.

Custodial history

Fonds was donated in 1976 by MacDougall’s daughter, Mrs. William Rait, of Manitoba.

Scope and content

Fonds comprises photocopies of MacDougall’s diary, reference letters, correspondence from the author Frederick William Wallace and MacDougall’s sister Alice, miscellaneous business papers, and photographs of MacDougall, other mariners, and shipping vessels.
