Two decades after the United States of America obtained it's independence from England, American merchant seamen are still forced out of American merchant ships in great numbers to serve involuntarily onboard the British Royal Navy's war ships. Captive American seamen are this way forced to take part in England's wars against friendly countries to the United States of America. We follow the exciting lives of three American seamen that come from the very regions in America where the USA fought and won battles to achieve its independence.
