  		John Thirkell on the Prison Hulk Register Name: John Thirkell Age: 30 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1815 Date Received: 7 Jan 1845 Ship: Warrior Place Moored: Chatham and Woolwich Date Convicted: 22 Jul 1844 Place Convicted: Maidstone "A hulk is a decommissioned ship that is either technologically out of date or cannot make it through the open sea without taking on water, but is still able to float without problems. There were many of these ships available when engines started to power ships instead of sails, so the hulks were moored in harbors and used as floating prisons or for other purposes. The hulks’ place in harbors also made it easier to hold and transport convicts being sent to Australia. The first prison hulks in England appeared after a 1776 act allowed them to be used to house prisoners." Ancestry.com. UK, Prison Hulk Registers and Letter Books, 1802-1849 [database on-line].
