Summary
"This is a transcription of prisoner of war records of American sailors, marines and merchantmen which were transcribed from the ledgers of the British Admiralty during the War of 1812. These men were either captured off the coast of western Europe, including the western Mediterranean Sea, or who were taken off British warships and merchantmen at the beginning of the war. The information is grouped by location: Portsmouth lists 1509 prisoners; Gibraltar lists 752 prisoners; Malta lists fifty-five prisoners; and Stapleton lists 421 prisoners. The ledgers from Portsmouth include a partial listing of the crews from the U.S. Schooners 'Growler' and 'Julia, ' which were captured on Lake Ontario, the crew of the U.S. Revenue Marine Cutter 'James Madison, ' and the crews from three prize ships of the U.S. Frigate, 'President'--Back cover.
