There were outbreaks of Yellow Fever in 1829, 1837, 1843, 1844, 1853, and 1856, the worst was that of 1853. It was believed that the outbreak arrived on a ship from Cuba, in July 1853, and swept over the islands until December that same year, claiming a total of more than 650 victims from the civilian, military, and convict population.
The following is a list of the convicts, and one guard, who died on board the Tenedos Convict Hospital Ship between the 9th July and the 9th December 1853.
