Fortunee

Hi there,
I note the comment that the Hulk 'Fortunee' was broken up in 1800. I had a 4x Great Uncle imprisoned on the 'Fortunee' when he was first sent to Portsmouth to await transportation beyond the seas. He was actually never sent, serving his whole 7 year sentence on the Hulks, and he was moved to the 'Portland', probably in late November 1801. His presence on the individual Hulks is confirmed in the Hulk Quarterly Accounts, where each account is labelled with the name of the ship.
