Design and construction
She was part of the two-ship class of Magicienne-class second-class paddle frigates.[1] She and her sister ship Valorous were originally ordered on 25 April 1847[1] as first-class sloops to John Edye's design, approved on 12 August 1847. On 5 August 1847 they were re-ordered as 210 ft (64 m) vessels. When finished, they constituted the last group of paddle warships built for the Royal Navy.
