Re: Hey who knows anything about the navy in 1820s New England

I'd recommend looking at the government's record sites, particularly the Library of Congress'.They keep a *ton* of records, and some are actually pretty detailed I also found some stuff that might be of interest to you at archives.gov.

I will say that some of what you're asking will depend on what exactly was going on [for example, the father would probably be gone longer if there were problems off the coast/where he was patrolling than if everything had been going awesome for a while, or what the weather conditions were where his ship was sailing] so you'll have to make some educated guesses.

Also, another good place to look might be sites that focus specifically on military/Navy history.

tl;dr: Here are some places that it might help to look for information on the Navy at the time/copies of actual documents concerning the Navy at the time - and yeah. It'd be reasonable, thought it would be shorter or longer depending on how much trouble there was/time of year [because of weather related reasons.]
