Born in 1839 in Bath, Maine, Kendrick was still living in that city when he joined the Navy. He served during the Civil War as a coxswain on the {{USS|Bienville}}. He volunteered to join the {{USS|Oneida|1861|6}} for the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864, during which he showed "courageous devotion to duty". For this action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor four months later, on December 31, 1864.[2] Kendrick's official Medal of Honor citation reads: Served as coxswain on board the U.S.S. Oneida in the engagement at Mobile Bay, 5 August 1864. Volunteering for the Mobile Bay action from Bienville, Kendrick displayed courageous devotion to duty, and his excellent conduct throughout the battle which resulted in the capture of the rebel ram Tennessee and in the damaging of Fort Morgan, attracted the attention of the commanding officer and those serving around him.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web | title = Civil War Medal of Honor Recipients (A–L) | work = Medal of Honor Citations | publisher = United States Army Center of Military History | date = June 26, 2011 | url = http://www.history.army.mil/html/moh/civwaral.html | accessdate = November 26, 2012 }} [1]}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Kendrick, Thomas}} 7 : 1839 births|Year of death unknown|People from Bath, Maine|People of Maine in the American Civil War|Union Navy sailors|United States Navy Medal of Honor recipients|American Civil War recipients of the Medal of Honor |
