Captain William E. Gregory (b. 1848), shown leaning on the railing above one of the tender Manzanita’s life buoys, spent over 30 years on lighthouse tenders in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. He was on the tender Manzanita from 1886 until he took command of the lighthouse tender Heather when it was built in 1903. He then captained the Armeria in Alaska and Kukui in Hawaii before taking the Columbine to Maine during WWI after which he retired.
