During the War of 1812, US sailors were captured primarily at sea by British naval forces. The British often boarded American merchant and naval ships, claiming sailors they accused of being British deserters or impressing them into service. Notable incidents included the capture of American ships like the USS Chesapeake, which was boarded by HMS Shannon in 1813, leading to many sailors being taken prisoner. Additionally, some sailors were captured during naval battles and skirmishes along the Great Lakes and coastal waters.
