On 1871-07-16 Captain Visier of the Dutch vessel Aurora spotted the flagpole which the Megaera's crew had erected and Lt. Lewis Jones sailed with her to Surabaya, Java, which they reached on 1871-08-02. He despatched telegrams to the British Consul in Batavia (Jakarta) and to the Royal Navy Commodore in Hong Kong, who ordered HMS Rinaldo to sail to the rescue

I believe I have traced an ancestor on 1871 census who is listed on vessel 'Rinaldo' .. at sea.
How can I find out 1. if this is correct ancestor and 2. more info about the vessel. I tried googling the ships name but am now confused!
