British Warships and Their Crew In Hawaii in the Mid-1800s
Upvote:9
If you want that level of detail then you'll need to work your way through the British Admiralty archives.
Ship's muster books will give you the crew names and should show if any were missing once the ship left the islands. The ship's log books (both Captain's and Master's) should give you the arrival and departure dates and may also give some idea of the mission. It's also possible that official messages or letters sent from the ships to the Admiralty will give you some idea of how the ship's were received on the islands but often the descriptions of what happened in port only cover official political interactions rather than social ones.
As a starting point, you might want to get a copy of Rif Winfield's "British Warships in the Age of Sail, 1817-1863", which gives short service histories for all of the vessels in the British Navy during your period of interest, to help narrow down which ships might have visited Hawaii.
