Eliah studied in Boston under David Hinckley, and became Master of the Ann. As a sea Captain, he was at Smyrna, Turkey at the beginning of the War of 1812, and had to spend four years there. On his return trip to Boston, his ship was attacked by pirates on the Barbary Coast, and his crew mutinied.

Following his retirement, Eliah wrote a book about his life at sea, Wonderful Providence in many incidents at sea. An engagement with Pirates published 1849 at Buffalo, NY. In 1819 Eliah was Captain of the Triton when she made the crossing from Liverpool to Boston in 18 days, and the rouind trip in 37 days. Eliah, with his brothers, reportedly owned seven steamships. Lived on Lake Keoka at Penn Yan, Yates Co., NY after retirement from the sea, and built the Holcombe Hotel. In a letter of his brother-in-law Chauncey Rowe on Jan 10, 1831, Eliah is said to have been "on his way to Boston" in the fall of 1830.
