Location of a ship in the 1871 census - latitude and longitude

[polexiaaphrodesia]

Hello, I've found one of my relatives on HMS Industry at the time of the 1871 census. I'd really love to know whereabouts in the world the ship was at that time but I can't work out how to put the latitude and longitude into Google maps. I imagine he was probably in Watford but would love to know if anyone can figure it out!

I had a go - see pic. I might not have quite transcribed the digits correctly as I can't zoom the picture all that well on my phone. But shows the format I used to search at least!

Oh thank you @newrubylane I was completely hopeless at it! Nice to see my great great great grandad had a bit of an adventure (albeit in the boiler room of the ship!)

Do you think I got those coordinates ok? I initially read it as '79' rather than '49' but Google didn't think that was a thing. I have to say I'm no geographer. However the record seemed like it was saying west coast of Africa, so this would tally.

So this looks promising!
