merchant navy records1800's

after illness I am back on my Kewleytrack. . My great x2grandfather's brother Edward has appeared on merchant navy records from 1851.i wonder if he had been "pressed" to join. . He was baptised 1832 at Santon. He appears to have enrolled age 15and started his term onHangalia of Liverpooli don't seem able to find out what happened to him or info on the vessel. Has anyone else managed to follow an ancestor through their time at sea? I did find him in 1861on hms hannibal(Royal Navy).any pointers would be appreciated
