Peter Griffith (grandson of William Henry Watkins) advises us that William Henry Watkins, Henry Watkins and Charles Watkins were brothers and all served in the Victorian Navy. William Henry only stayed seven months, due to his moustache problem. |
* 1853 is given as the commencement date for the Victorian Navy as this is the year that Commander Lockyer (RN) went to Britain to superintend the building of HMCS Victoria.
Although the Victorian Navy ended in 1901 the career of Cerbeus etc continued. In 1910 the new ships started arriving & manning levels increased.
Information & photographs of men who served in the Victorian Naval Forces is eagerly sought. Please contact the webmaster.P0WERED by: DaDaBIK
