Convicts on ships, particularly during the transportation era, used a makeshift toilet system known as a "head," which was often a simple platform over the side of the ship. This area lacked privacy and was typically located at the bow, where the ship's movement helped to manage waste. Conditions were cramped and unsanitary, leading to significant health issues among the convicts during long voyages. Some ships also had limited facilities below deck, but these were often inadequate for the number of people on board.
The convicts used buckets. The officers and marines had more civilised circumstances, but certainly not toilets as we know them today. The toilets were simple wooden seats over holes that emptied straight into the ocean.
