Notes:

1854 ordered to be built at Pembroke Dock and was intended to be like the "Cruizer," of 748 tons.

1855 The "Pelican" ordered to be the same as the "Mutine," of 878 tons.

1858, when the "Pelican's" frame was about three-fourths cut out, she was ordered to be built of increased length to give her finer lines, and some of her bow-timbers had in consequence to be reconverted. The loss was �75, however following the Commissioners inspection of the dockyards published in 1861 it was implied that little credibility could be attributed to any accounts that were produced.
