Disused warships moored in the Thames were used as prisons and as depots for prisoners awaiting transportation. The hulk lists give hulk number, name and age of convict, his offence, when and where tried, the sentence, his trade, whether married or single, the gaoler's report and a statement of behaviour while on the hulk. The surgeon of the hulk certifies that the men are free of infectious disease. A small series of Hulk Lists (1838-1842) are to be found in the Dixson Library, Sydney. Copies are on Miscellaneous Microfilm 71.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
