How women lived on board

It’s just a small thing, but it’s important. It’s about women on board and since the Battle of the Nile we know from the written testimonies of some Sailors and  female remains among some other British Sailors on Aboukir Island as well as at the Battle of Trafalgar ( thanks to @verecunda​, sorry I just discovered your post now)  that women were on board even though they were officially always considered forbidden. But they were not only on board for pleasure. On the contrary, they had some duties, such as helping the Surgeon or serving as Powder Monkey, and they often did the crew’s laundry, for which they were occasionally paid. They brought water to the thirsty during a battle and looked after the boys and midshipmen on board. Especially for the young ones, they often served as mother substitutes.

However, they were not granted an easy life on board. Here is a small list depending on which rank the lady in question belonged to.

Wife of a common seaman

If she was allowed to accompany him at sea, she had to share everything with him, his hammock, his sea chest and his meals. But there was one small luxury: she was allowed to sleep an hour longer and did not have to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. That’s why the call Show a Leg from boatswain, boatswain’s mate or Master at Arms rings through the decks at this time. Then it was time to show a leg, if it was a man’s leg to get up, if it was a woman’s leg she was allowed to lie down for a while. Apart from their duties, life was rather boring and so many looked forward to the free time when they could dance and chat with their husbands on deck. The women also took part in other leisure activities, such as plays and skits on board, which often took place at this time.

Wife of a warrant officer

The wives of the warrant officers were in a somewhat better situation, as they shared with their husbands the small canvas-covered cabins that were located on the sides of the lower deck. This allowed them a certain amount of privacy and even allowed them to own some furniture. These women spent their time sewing clothes for themselves and their husbands and doing mending work as needed. Since they had a somewhat larger income, they may also have engaged in decorative handicrafts such as embroidery or crewel work. Since the wives of warrant officers were much more likely to be able to read than the wives of seamen, many of them spent part of the day reading and writing. These women had the added advantage of being served by cabin boys. These boys, aged eleven to twelve, served the wives as servants, shining shoes, running errands, preparing special dishes and the like.Often close relationships developed between the boys and the wives, giving the boys the maternal care they still needed and the wives a maternal fulfilment they greatly enjoyed. As already addressed above.

Wife of a Wardroom Officer

The wives of officers of wardroom rank ate with their husbands and enjoyed the benefits of a varied diet of fresh meats, delicacies, and wine. Wives of the boatswain, carpenter, and gunner ate sepearately from both the commissioned officers and the seamen but also had the benefit of being able to supplement their victuals with fresh meat, wine, coffee, and tea. As much as commissioned officers may have loathed the women of the lower deck, they enjoyed the company of ladies of quality who sometimes travelled on naval ships. These women were sheltered in the officers’ quarters and entertained at dinners that sometimes rivalled those given ashore.

The Captain’s Wife

When she was on board, she was treated like her equal in the Wardroom except that she lived in the great Cabin and felt like the lady of the house, she could also give dinners like the wives of the Wardroom Officers and was a welcome entertainment at the table.
