Like his father, Oliver was a ship captain who sailed from Searsport (Waldo County) Maine according to the book Searsport Sea Captains by Colonel Frederick Frasier Black (1960) p. 165. According to that source, he sailed on the bark Helen Angier (1874 for only a short time).
According to the above source, Captain Park was saved in the waterspout shipwreck of the bark Trovatore five months later in November, 1870 when he was second mate. He and two sailors were the only survivors. Perhaps, due to that event, Oliver decided to leave seafaring and moved west.
Records for the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport, Maine confirm that Capt. Park died in Grinnell, Iowa in 1930.
