caption_attribution_description: English: On the southern end of the Loch Promenade, camera pointed north. The flagpoles are adorned with the Manx flag. The Manx National Heritage sign installed on the right (foreground) describes what can be seen from this point along the Douglas Trail: the Tower of Refuge, the Loch Promenade and Sunken Gardens, the Wreck of the St. George, the Jubilee Clock, and the David "Dawsey" Kewley Drinking Fountain.
context_page_description: Douglas is the capital and largest town of the Isle of Man, with a population of 27,938. It is located at the mouth of the River Douglas, and on a sweeping bay of two miles. The River Douglas forms part of the town's harbour and main commercial port.
  Douglas was a small settlement until it grew rapidly as a result of links with the English port of Liverpool in the 18th century. Further population growth came in the following century, resulting during the 1860s in a staged transfer of the High Courts, the Lieutenant Governor's residence, and finally the seat of the legislature, Tynwald, to Douglas from the ancient capital, Castletown.
  The town is the Island's main hub for business, finance, legal services, shipping, transport, shopping, and entertainment. The annual Isle of Man TT motorcycle races start and finish in Douglas.
