While many nations have practised the use of decommissioned ships as prison ships or prison hulks over the years, it was widespread in Great Britain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when, after the defeat in The American War of Independence and subsequently the loss of a colony for the deportation of felons, penitentiaries became full to overflowing. The intention was to use Prison ships for a short period, but eighty years later, they were still being used. Will Roberts has created a story that vividly describes the conditions that existed on these extremely crowded prison ships. As is the norm with Will Roberts' novels, the story takes the reader back to the era in which it is set, on this occasion, the mid-nineteenth century.
