John A. Henriques (1826 – 1906) was a United States Revenue Cutter Service officer that was noted for helping form the establishment of the Revenue Cutter Service School of Instruction, which later became the United States Coast Guard Academy.[1][Note 1]
Early life
Henriques started a career in carpentry in the 1840s and after finishing an apprenticeship in carpentry he began working on coastal vessels to earn a living. By 1850 he was a journeyman carpenter but he abandoned carpentry to become a merchant seaman, eventually working his way up the crew ranks to first mate. After the beginning of the Civil War he petitioned for a commission with the Revenue Cutter Service at age 37. He was commissioned a third lieutenant on March 27, 1863, and was assigned to USRC James C. Dobbin.[1][2]
U.S. Revenue Cutter Service
Early service
During subsequent assignments aboard cutters Crawford, Northerner and John Sherman, Henriques was promoted to first lieutenant, July 11, 1864, skipping the normal promotion to second lieutenant.[1][2] His promotion to captain came less than two years later on June 6, 1866.[2] On August 10, 1868, Henriques set sail from Baltimore, Maryland as captain of the newly commissioned cutter Reliance bound for San Francisco, California. The passage around Cape Horn included eight days of gale-force winds at the cape with arrival in San Francisco on January 29, 1868.[3]
Establishment of Revenue School of Instruction
Later service
Henriques died March 29, 1906.[2]
