Daphne was built at the Pembroke Dockyard and launched on 23 October 1866. she spent her entire career east of Suez – in the East Indies and particularly on anti-slavery operations on the East coast of Africa.
She was commissioned at Plymouth on 12 June 1867 by Cdr George Lydiard Sulivan.[citation needed]. In October 1872, Daphne ran aground in the Mergui Archipelago. She was refloated and taken in to Bombay, India for repairs.[1][2]Daphne came back to finally pay off in 1879.
"Each of her commissions lasted four years, and her ever recurring appearance at so many successive slave running seasons earned a tradition of wrath at the mention of her name among the merchants in that line of business", wrote Admiral Ballard in July 1938.[3]
