Of interest, I was watching the AMC TV show "Turn" about spies and there was mention of Americans being sent to the British prison ship Jersey and the remark made that this would be like a death sentence. This of even more interest since I am doing some research and writing about British prison hulks right now.
The HMS Jersey was on the Wikipedia list I used for the last post.
HMS JERSEY-- 1776-1783, stationed at New York. 60-gun 4th Rate ship-of-the-line built 1763 at Plymouth. Most noted for service as a prison hulk in the American Revolution.
Abandoned at New York in 1783.
Someone was doing their homework at the show.
