John Singleton Copley - Self-Portrait  

John Singleton Copley RA (1738 – 1815) was an Anglo-American painter, active in both colonial America and England. He was probably born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Richard and Mary Singleton Copley, both Anglo-Irish.

The first step in going to sea on the long voyage which a boy hoped would eventually reach a landmark when he hoisted his flag as an admiral began with a captain or admiral granting a favour by agreeing to take a particular boy to sea with him. Until 1794 the boy would be described in the ship’s book as ‘captain’s servant’; after 1794 an Admiralty ruling named such boys ‘young gentlemen intended for sea service’.

This meant that as the war began most midshipmen had started off as ‘captain’s servants’, but because of the obliqueness of bureaucracy this does not mean that they were servants of the captain. The captain had servants paid by the Admiralty and the number was laid down by regulation. [...] These boys could be anyone ranging from the captain’s son or nephew to the eager offspring of a friend. Some captains were not above taking along a tradesman’s son in return for not being pressed over a large bill.

— Dudley Pope, Life in Nelson’s Navy
