Help with sea co-ordinates

[Sparkhill Lad]

Can any body help with this.

Lucky me I found a friends ancestor onboard ship in the 1911 census,
It gives the ship as EDGAR , trooping service and their position at sea at this time was:

LAT 5.51 North
LONGDITUDE 84.55 East

Where on the sea were they, can you help

If you Google HMS EDGAR, you will find photos and other details regarding that ship.

Also have a gander at the Wiki entry @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Edgar_(1890)

Good hunting!
