Also a major presence in naval hospitals as nurses.
Just how prevalent was obscured for over two centuries, because black nurses rarely showed up as individuals in pay records.
Often they were slaves then later contracted servants, with a master/contract agent being paid for the service provision.

Many people are unaware that there were black sailors in the Royal Navy during the age of sail. If you mention it they assume you must have searched desperately to find some representation.
But do you know who really wanted to ensure these sailors were represented?
People at the time.
