The Hulks (old warships)were holding prisons prior to transportation for life or 7 years. There were about 275 capital offences by 1800. Most death sentences were commuted to transportation to Australia. The destination up to c1776 was the American Colonies. The practice started about 1712 I believe. You could be transported for stealing a bag of potatoes! That's the way to do it.
