 Overview |
Episodes:
1. Blackbeard
A new British governor arrives at the port of New Providence assigned the task of bringing law and order to the British colony. Authorized to grant pardons to any buccaneers swearing alliegiance to the Crown, Governor Rogers faces some resistance from Blackbeard.
2. The Raider
After an attack on the port of New Providence by a pirate ship, Governor Woodes must set sail to track it down. This will leave the port unguarded, except for the small garrison of soldiers led by Lt. Beamish, and this worries Governor Woodes.
3. Captain Dan Tempest
Governor Woodes finally meets the one man he wishes to reform from buccaneering, Captain Dan Tempest. Tempest holds the sway of the entire colony and his decision to accept the pardon or not would determine if the governor's plans will work.
4. Dan Tempest's War with Spain
Having accepted the King's pardon and deciding to lead a better life, Captain Dan Tempest finds himself faced with two problems. His first problem is Lolita, his girlfriend, who has decided to leave him due to his change of lifestyle, tempting him to reconsider his decision. His second problem is with the Spanish, who have decided to attack the port of New Providence.
5. The Wasp
Captain Dan Tempest and his crew find a stowaway on board "The Sultana", Tempest's ship. Deciding to make the young man his cabin boy, Tempest and the crew treat him to a hard initiation, all under the guise of good fun. What Tempest and the crew of "The Sultana" don't know is the connection their new cabin boy has to the pirate Blackbeard and what he has in store for them.
6. Whale Gold
Captain Dan Tempest and the crew of "The Sultana" comes across a piece of ambergris, a valuable substance produced by sperm whales and used in the making of expensive perfumes. Thinking they have an opportunity for some unexpected riches, Tempest sails for a nearby island to look for more ambergris. Unfortunately, the search brings out the greed in a few crew members, the type of greed for men to kill to get the treasure.
7. The Slave Ship
After suffering under the oppression of a cruel landowner, three men who were working as indentured servants for the landowner decide to escape. Slipping aboard a ship, the three men learn the vessel is a slave ship with a hold full of slaves bound for their colony. Taking control of the ship, the inexperienced sailors set sail with Captain Dan Tempest trying to stop them before their escape ends tragically.
8. Gunpowder Plot
The port of New Providence is faced with a problem when Blackbeard raids the garrison and takes the gunpowder supply. Fearing they will be unable to defend themselves from attack, Lt. Beamish sends Captain Dan Tempest and his crew to pick up more gunpowder. When the British naval authorities are unwilling to give up the gunpowder before they are ordered to, Tempest decides to use some of his old buccaneering tricks to get the gunpowder.
9. The Ladies
Lt. Beamish informs Captain Dan Tempest and the crew of "The Sultana" that a ship, "The Caroline", carries women bound for New Providence and will arrive soon. Hearing about this valuable cargo, Blackbeard plans to board the in-bound vessel and take the women hostage. Tempest learns of Blackbeard's plans and sets out in a race to get to "The Caroline" first.
10. The Surgeon of Sangre Rojo
An epidemic has the port of New Providence desperate for a doctor to treat those suffering from the illness. Captain Dan Tempest knows of a doctor on a nearby Spanish colony but, with England and Spain at war, it is feared the doctor will not be allowed to aid them. Tempest decides to secretly enter the Spanish colony in the hopes he can convince the doctor to come and treat the sick residents of New Providence.
11. Before the Mast
The Spanish blockcade of New Providence has made the food and gunpowder supplies dangerously low. A British ship is enroute to the island to re-supply the settlement and the Spanish captain "El Supremo" intends to stop it. The Spanish sneak aboard "The Sultana", Dan Tempest's ship, and set a fire that forces Tempest to run his ship aground on the beach. Will Tempest and his crew repair "The Sultana" in time to stop "El Supremo" from attacking the supply ship?
12. Dan Tempest and the Amazons
Captain Delacour, a pirate, takes captive seven women who are from New Providence and plans to ransom them. What the pirate captain doesn't count on is the inginuity of the women, who foil the pirates and take command of the ship. Captain Dan Tempest, attempting to track down the kidnapped women, now must try to convince the lady sailors to return to New Providence.
13. Articles of War
With the food ship several weeks from arriving, the meat rations for New Providence have been limited to the sick and the children. The crew of "The Sultana" are tired of eating fish and wish to have some beef. The crew also is upset to learn the prisoners of war are receiving beef, leading some of the men to make plans for releasing the prisoners and pretending to be sick. Things don't go according to their plans and Tempest has to fix things right. |
