Alexander McDougall (ship designer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alexander McDougall (ship designer)
Captain Alexander McDougall was a Scottish-born American seamen who built a popular cargo ship, the Whaleback. In 1880, he designed a ship that could withstand the worst lake water and carry the greatest cargo in the least water. ==Early life== McDougall was born on March 15, 1845 on the island of Islay, Scotland. He was the eldest son of parents David and Ellen McDougall. In 1854, when McDougall was ten, he emigrated with his parents to the Canadian-Scotch settlement of Nottawa, Ontario, now part of Collingwood. In 1862, at the age of seventeen, McDougall shipped out on the Great Lakes after limited schooling. He had time to pursue his hobby of designing ships of steel, and his experience with the violent storms of the Great Lakes prompted him to design the Whaleback.
