Yes, James Forten and the crew of the Royal Louis were captured and held captive on the British prison ship Jersey during the American Revolutionary War. Forten, an African American sailmaker and abolitionist, was taken prisoner after the defeat of his ship. The Jersey was notorious for its harsh conditions, and many prisoners suffered greatly during their captivity. Forten's experiences in captivity further fueled his commitment to the fight for freedom and equality.
