Prison Ship

The gripping and action-packed story of a teenage sailor’s adventures, from the Battle of Copenhagen – commanded by none other than Admiral Nelson – to Australian shores and life in Sydney colony.

Sam fights in a fierce battle against the Danish Fleet, led by Nelson himself, and against all odds victory is theirs. Peace is declared and Britain’s war with most of Northern Europe is over. Sam can go home. But on the journey back, he witnesses a crime, for which he is framed. He is sentenced to death, but at the last minute his sentence is commuted to transportation to Australia. With petty thieves, vicious criminals, women, and other children, Sam begins an eight month journey to the other side of the world, and a life of slavery in the harsh Australian interior. He knows that against all odds, he must escape.
