     A leading and enterprising merchant and shipowner; Virginia House, Greenock. He was chief magistrate of Greenock in 1795-97. To his indefatigable exertions was due the restoration of "Fort Jervis," skirting the "Bay of St. Lawrence" - where the east harbour of Greenock now stands. This was a formidable fort in those days, mounting twelve 24-pounders. It was about this time the people of Greenock and on the Clyde were in a state of wild alarm through the French squadron, under Thurot, burning ships off Ailsa Craig. Mr. Stewart lent to the British Government during the American war his crack ship Defiance, originally fitted out by Captain H. Dundas Beatson, Naval Service, as a Letter of Marque, mounting 32 guns. On the second day after leaving the Clyde as convoy to a fleet of merchant ships, she fell in with and engaged, off the coast of Ireland, the United States frigate Wasp, 72 guns. After a gallant fight the Defiance struck, being "on fire fore and aft".
The Wasp was disabled from pursuit of the merchant fleet, and was easily captured next day by a British frigate of the same calibre from Cork. Mr. Stewart's son, who died last year, father of the Church of Scotland, at Liberton, Edinburgh, was a youth in the Defiance when captured, and delighted to tell how the gallant Captain Athole fought his ship against such heavy odds.
