What was Captain Vozdvit's real name?

Accepted answer
Actually, we know from recent research that the American, William Wadsworth, was captain of the Il'mena from 1813 to at least 1819.
The Chief Administrator of the Russian-American Company, Alexander Andreevich Baranov, hired Wadsworth to captain the Il’mena on her first voyage on behalf of the Company. The ship left Sitka, Alaska in either December 1813 (according to Khlenikov) or January 1814 (according to Ogden).
A letter dated 15 July 1818 from I.A. Kuskov to the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Colonies in America makes it clear that Wadsworth was still in command of the Il’mena at that time.
Since the events in question occurred in May 1816, it seems that Wadsworth must still have been captain of the Il’mena when it arrived at Oahu.
Indeed, Bolkhovitinov explicitly states that Wadsworth was captain, and that he was ordered to remain in Hawaii by Schäffer.
