See photo enlarged. "The story of the horrid Prison Ships - and the ghastly conditions suffered by the men and boys imprisoned on them during the Revolutionary War - is one of the most disturbing chapters in American history. 11,000 men and boys died in them (anchored in Wallabout Bay, New York). After the war, the British Commander in charge of the Prison Ships was brought up on war crimes charges and was subsequently hanged." - Fort Greene Park Conservancy. N° de ref. del artículo 01957
