The movie didn't make that clear, so I googled and found a fascinating article about him: http://www.anointedlinks.com/amazing_grace.html His life would make a good movie. Terrible beginning, but after he left the sea he ultimately became an ordained minister and taught himself Latin Greek, Hebrew. (None of that was clear in the movie, but of course the movie was not about him. I think they only titled it Amazing Grace because that would attract more film-goers than Wilber Wilberforce).
