He was raised by his father, Jonathan, and Sir Harold Gutterman, who owned the plantation he called home. His father and Sir Harold decided to send Henry to the Merchant Naval Academy in London when he was just eleven years of age. Loving the sea and the world in which he was part of as an officer and able seamen, Henry spent the next six years serving under Captain Peters—his captain, his mentor, his friend.
