The 'Anson' was then refitted as a hulk Probation Station for housing female prisoners after they first arrived in Van Diemen's Land. It was situated in the River Derwent, Prince of Wales Bay, Risdon near Hobart. There is much written about it's time as a Probation Station. The 'Anson' ship was broken up in 1850.
