There were basically two types: in many southern European countries you could be sentenced to the galleys, whose rowers always had a large contingent of convicts. Although the popular Hollywood image of these convict rowers being constantly belabored by guys with whips was a gross exaggeration, living conditions for the convicts were harsh and the work could be backbreaking.
The second type were the sailing ships that transported convicts to colonies such as Australia. These ships basically were normal freighters, slightly adapted for the transport of people instead of cargo.Living conditions at the time on ships making very long journeys were always hard. Burt the mortality rates amongst the convicts and the ship's crew differed little.
