HMS Jersey published in the Fall 2017 issue of War, Literature and the Arts

My pictorial essay 'HMS Jersey: Absences and Memory from the Battlefields of Brooklyn' with the initial image by my wife Mary Cuddihee Skrill has been published in the fall 2017 issue of War, Literature and the Arts. In honor of its publication, I include Mary's drawing from the Williamsburg Bridge in 2015 of where the HMS Jersey was docked in Wallabout Bay in Brooklyn for seven long years of the Revolutionary War when Great Britain occupied NYC and my 2017 painting of the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn where some of the Prison Ship Martyrs who perished on the Jersey were interred.
