Born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, on January 15, 1817, the son of Robert Dewar Wainwright and Maria Montresor Auchmuty.

From 1838 to 1841, he served on the Coast Survey in the brig ''Consort''. He was commissioned lieutenant on 8 September 1841 and commanded the steamer on the Navy's Home Squadron from 1848 to 1849, served again on Coast Survey from 1851 to 1857, and cruised in the steam frigate on special service from 1857 to 1860.

Following the outbreak of the Civil War, Wainwright was promoted to commander on 24 April 1861 and commanded , flagship of Admiral David G. Farragut's West Gulf Blockading Squadron. During the passage of the forts below New Orleans, Louisiana on the night of 24 and 25 April 1862, he performed gallant service in extinguishing a fire on ''Hartford'' while continuing the bombardment of the forts.
