This list of information from the 1836 Navy register covers only the Navy’s 333 commissioned officers.
It does not include those holding warrants as Surgeons (94 men at various levels), Pursers (41 men),
Chaplains (9 men), Sailing Masters (27 men), Professors of Mathematics/Teachers at Naval Schools (10 men),
Boatswains (22 men), Gunners (21 men), Carpenters (19 men), or Sailmakers (20 men). It also does not
cover the 198 Passed Midshipmen or 256 Midshipmen who, though in the line of promotion, did not hold
commissions. The 58 Marine Corps officers, 13 Navy Agents, 9 Storekeepers, and 6 Naval Constructors
are also not listed here although they are included in the Navy Register.
