==Early life==
Douglas was born on 25 September 1822 in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth. His parents were Richard William Clode Douglas and Mary née Johnson.〔Burns, P. L., '(Douglas, William Bloomfield (1822–1906) )', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, accessed 17 February 2012.〕
At the age of 19, Douglas joined the Royal Navy, serving as captain's steward aboard HMS ''Wolverine''. He resigned from military service after 8 months, in September 1842, to become master of ''The Royalist'' and join his distant relation rajah James Brooke fighting pirates around Sarawak.〔〔(Sarawak Genealogy – Johnson Brooke ). ''The Royal Ark''. Accessed 21 February 2012.〕 He then joined the East India Company from 1844–1847. After this, he went back to England for five years and worked as a coastguard in Northumberland, before returning to sea again.〔
