Shorey began seafaring as a teenager and in he made his first whaling voyage. Whaling brought him to California and he married the daughter from a leading African American family in San Francisco. In he became the only black West Coast ship captain.

The majority of black seamen in British ships were probably from the West Indies, but we do not have references for African Americans hired as seamen in foreign ships at New York and other East Coast ports.
