BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Navigation and Piloting
BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Navigation and Piloting Captain John A. Henriques BCH 16114.3 December 2017 John Ashcroft Henriques John Ashcroft Henriques was one of the most important Revenue Cutter Service officers of the 19th century.

In the decade following the War, he commanded four ocean-going cutters, including the Reliance. As captain of Reliance, he sailed from the East Coast around hazardous Cape Horn to San Francisco. The voyage began August 1867 and included eight brutal days of gale-force winds and heavy seas while the 110-foot topsail schooner slugged her way around “the Horn.” A few months after Reliance arrived in San Francisco, Henriques sailed for Alaska, becoming one of the first cutter captains to serve in the treacherous waters of that territory, and the first one to enforce U.S. -
