HMS Ganymede 1819-1838 Chatham and Woolwich Ganymede was the French frigate Hébé captured in 1809. She was converted to a prison hulk in 1819 and broken up in 1838.

they stop on the prision hulks then transported on to transporter ship list on ancestry might give you a better clue if he served time or was transported ?

someone might have access and find it for you, where was he convicted, as i think there court lists about, you might find out what he was convicted for and his sentence ?
