The Second Fleet of the British First Fleet, which was sent to Australia, consisted of 11 ships. It departed from England in 1790 and was mainly tasked with transporting convicts to the newly established penal colony in New South Wales. The fleet included various types of vessels, such as transport ships and supply ships.
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.

The Scarborough, a transport ship that carried convicts to Australia, set sail in 1786 with 208 male convicts on board. The ship was part of the First Fleet, which established the first European settlement in Australia at Port Jackson. The journey was challenging, and a number of convicts did not survive the voyage.
