LovejoyCaptain H. B. Lovejoy, mate of Zenobia, was for many years a well-known maritime pilot on Puget Sound. He was born in Maine in 1805, spent the early part of his life after leaving home in the United States Navy, and came to the United States Pacific Coast in 1849. After a short stay in the mines he began sailing out of San Francisco to southern ports. He was for several years master of the bark Chalcedony, a famous northern trader in her day, and in 1858 was in the service of the Russian-American Trading Company, running between San Francisco and Alaska on Zenobia.
