HMS NARCISSUS 1860s
« on: Thursday 13 August 09 20:19 BST (UK) »
 William Harker (born 1838 Hull) is listed in the 1861 Census as a gunner on HMS Narcissus.  Can anyone direct me to information about this ship, its voyages around this time and the life of a gunner on board a Royal Navy Vessel.
Thanks
