The Imagination Station #14: Captured on the
High Seas
British warships battle with American
privateers in this high sea adventure. Cousins Patrick and Beth have
landed on the Royal Louis in the middle of the Revolutionary
War. Cannonballs fly and swords slash. They're captured! Now they
face even more dangers. Will their new friend James Forten be sold
by the British into the West Indies slave trade? Or will they all be
sentenced to the overcrowded prison ship floating near shore where
scores of prisoners die from filth and disease? Patrick and Beth
help plan a daring escape as they witness firsthand the deeds of
brave heroes who fought to make America the land of the free.
