Summary: A chance meeting of two countrymen aboard a prison hulk. May 1780.
Author's Note: The dialect contained herein is mostly the result of me winging it, but it seemed fitting. If I've gotten any of that wrong, I apologise. After the siege of Charleston, the American squadron under Commodore Abraham Whipple was captured. Included in this number were roughly two hundred Continental Marines. There are mentions of these American naval prisoners being accommodated aboard hulks in Charleston harbour. I do not know for certain if British Marines were employed as guards on these hulks so I am taking a bit of liberty with that. Interestingly, however, Continental Marines truly did have green coats!
