Prison ships (hulks or tenders) in the Thames off the Tower of London, 1805. Hulks were usually old naval vessels no longer considered seaworthy. Each day the prisoners were brought ashore in shackles and used as forced labour. They were also used to hold men newly press-ganged into the Royal Navy. From The Costume of Great Britain by WH Pyne. (London, 1805).
