Uploaded on Aug 23, 2010

Recorded on August 17, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder on the "Brewster Flats" of Cape Cod. At low tide (as seen here) you can walk nearly a mile out on sand or through very shallow water.

Words and music (c) (p) 2010 by Lloyd Miller. Inspired by the stories of the prisoners who died aboard the prison ships anchored in Wallabout Bay during the Revolutionary War. Over 10,000 soldiers in the Continental Army died on these ships. The most infamous vessel was known as "Old Jersey."

Wallabout Bay is located near the present-day Brooklyn Naval Yard (where your car gets towed).

The Deedle Deedle Dees debuted this song July 28, 2010, at their concert in Fort Greene Park, where there is a big monument to the prison ship martyrs. The bones of some of the prisoners lie underneath this monument.
