Episode description
The Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in New York honors over 15,000 Americans who were held captive on British ships during the Revolution. Twice as many soldiers died in these conditions than in the battles of the Revolution, mostly of disease, starvation, and violence. After falling into disrepair in the 1930s, the Monument has since been restored and was rededicated in 2008.
