The sea called to many a young boy to the Adventures and dangers of the sea. These boys were just children of the average ages of thirteen to twenty-one, but there were exception and boys of eight and twelve years would service on navy ships. The boy that left home because he didn’t like hard work or school, would soon find out they may have been better off at home. The boys soon found it was hard work on a ship and something else they hadn’t thought of school. The boys would learn writing, arithmetic and navigation. The chaplain other duty was that of the school-master, but by the 1830‘s, there was a full time school-master, but it was up to the Chaplain to over look the school-master and to see that he was performing his duty and to report to the Captain if he was not, and to report any youth that was not learning.
The boy had many duty’s on ship and had their duty stations and would performed what ever the officer ask of them. On their enlistment they would receive and outfit which would consist of one pea-jacket or monkey-jacket, two flannel over-shirts, two woolen undershirts, two pairs woolen drawers, two pairs woolen socks, one pair satin trousers, one pair cloth trousers, one seamless cap, two pairs canvass-duck trousers, one pair calf-skin shoes, two linen frocks, one pair blankets, one mattress, and one black silk handkerchief. Over the year the outfits would change the foresaid outfits was of the 1870’s, however their pay would stay about the same, six and eight dollars per month.
On any given ship you would find any where between eight and thirty boys depending on how many guns the ship carried. The boys worked on and below deck depending on their work stations, there was a rotations of duty stations as each boy was to learn all workings of the ships. There would be times when all boys would be ordered below decks, in a storms there was little time to worry about a boy being washed overboard by a wave, let alone themselves and in the time of battle the boys were needed below to run power from the powered magazine to the guns, these boys would be known as “ Powered Monkeys.” At these times the boys would stay below decks unless otherwise ordered by the Captain.

As a surname researcher it is my job to give you as many names as I can with a little history so you may understand your ancestor better. The following information will not be in any kind order, but is given to help you find and understand your ancestor better. After listing all the information I will give a list of “ Boys.” and just maybe you will find that ancestor you have been looking for.

Boys, required for vessels of the description mentioned underneath.

Henry S. Rennolds Asst. Surgeon & Surgeon.
In the last few days I had the pleasure to work with a woman from New York, who found this information very helpful and so as not to loss it I decided to place it here in the hope that it will help others that may be looking into this family.
--------------------------------------------------------
Henry S. Rennolds, enlisted on Feb. 28, 1833, and was commissioned that day as a Asst. Surgeon, and was station to the U. S. Schooner Dolphin which was station in the Pacific. The Dolphin was build in Philadelphia, she sailed in 1821, carrying 12, guns and was commission to the Pacific. By the time Henry entered the navy in 1833, the Dolphin in navy time was a old ship, to old to cross the Pacific to the U. S. then back again, so was ordered to stay in the Pacific. Henry would leave the U. S. by other ship ( Name unknown ) and met up with his ship some where in the Pacific. The Dolphin was the first ship to Visit the Islands of Hawaii in 1821 and would make many trips there.
When Henry S. Rennolds, left medical school he was not a full surgeon but a intern, and was commission as a Asst. Surgeon when he entered the service, after a few years of servicing under the head surgeon and pass all tests he would be recorded as a Passed Asst. Surgeon. As to how long he would have stayed a passed asst. surgeon I couldn’t find out, but was commission to full surgeon on Sept. 8, 1841, as to where he may have been station I can’t tell you as my navy register only goes to 1836.
As to the Dolphin been in any battle I couldn’t find out although her duty of patrol was to help other ships in trouble hunt down men that jumped ships and c&. On May 27,1834, The ( Isabella ) wreck and the Dolphin took 36, survivors to Miramichi, Henry would have been on the Dolphin at that time. Henry was on the Dolphin that I know of from 1833 to 1836, some time in 1836, he would leave the ship and return on leave, did he return to the U. S. I don’t know but I do know that since he had been at sea for six years his leave would have been between two to three years. He could have stop at Hawaii on his way home or back if he was again station to the Dolphin? Henry would retire on May 29, 1861, and died six years later.

The Dolphin was build in Philadelphia, she sailed in 1821, carrying 12, guns and was commission to the Pacific. By the time Henry entered the navy in 1833, the Dolphin in navy time was a old ship, to old to cross the Pacific to the U. S. then back again, so was ordered to stay in the Pacific.
