Robert Corteen was born in 1790 and was something of a polymath, successful in many fields of study and achievement, and not only in the Isle of Man. Whilst working for Messrs Gelling in Douglas, he constructed machinery to supply gas to light St Matthew's Church and other businesses on Douglas quayside. This was first used on 27th June 1832.
We continue to hear about the exploits of Neddy Beg Hom Ruy at the fishing out of Port St Mary when he was still young, among crewmen who were much given to drink.
