Captain Charles Herbert Lovett , Second Pilot to the Bluff Harbour Board, is the second son of Mr. F. H. Lovett of the Tasmanian Survey Department. He was born, in 1853, at Hobart, where he was educated at a collegiate school, and afterwards joined the whaling barque “Aladdin,” belonging to Mr. John McArthur, of Hobart, and remained seven years in that gentleman's whaling service. He rose to the rank of second mate, obtained a master's certificate in 1878, and then commanded the barque “Bells” and other vessels belonging to Mr. C. W. Turner, of Christchurch, until 1892, when he was appointed to his present position. He was initiated into Freemasonry in 1879, in Lodge Unanimity, Lyttelton, and in 1893 affiliated with Lodge Fortitude, No. 64, N.Z.C., Bluff, in which he now is a Past Master. Captain Lovett was married in 1880 to Miss Lucas, of Tasmania, and has five children.
