Source
3 July 1766

Charles Lutwidge, Receiver General of His Majesty's Revenues in the Isle of Man, petitions the Crown to designate port authority post-Revestment under powers granted by Parliament. He requests Douglas be appointed Head Port with Darby Haven, Ramsay, and Peel as subsidiary ports. This document reflects the administrative reorganisation of Manx customs infrastructure following the 1765 parliamentary purchase of sovereignty.
