At Sea Under Impressment: Accounts of Involuntary Service Aboard Navy and Pirate Vessels, 1700-1820
Jean Choate
As Britain became a dominant sailing empire during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, her ships were manned in part by impressment. This book provides an overview of the practice, in which naval officers oversaw a press gang that abducted British and American citizens, and held them captive until they were sent to sea as unwilling sailors.
