[3] In late 1794 John Kendrick Senior, after several voyages across the Pacific, encountered his son, "Juan" at Nootka Sound.
In 1799, as a crew member aboard the Eliza under Captain James Rowan, and no longer with the Spanish Navy, John Kendrick Jr. and others exacted revenge upon the Haida.
[4][5][6] After Eliza returned to New England John Kendrick Jr. joined the crew of the maritime fur trading vessel Juno, which under Captain Gibbs sailed from Bristol, Rhode Island in 1801 and arrived in the Pacific Northwest in 1802.
In early 1803 the Juno, with the trading ship Mary, unsuccessfully attempted to rescue the two survivors of the Boston, who had been enslaved to Chief Maquinna of Nootka Sound.
After acquiring a cargo of furs the Juno sailed to Canton, China, and then back to New England, arriving in May, 1804.
