Description

A freshly rendered tale from an actual 17th‑century seaman’s journal, this story plunges listeners into the gritty world of colonial America’s underbelly. The narrator, a young Scottish‑born sailor conscripted into a brutal prison ship, finds himself thrust onto the deck of the notorious pirate brig Namur, where the smell of gunpowder mixes with the salty promise of freedom.

Amid cramped decks and shifting loyalties, he encounters the enigmatic Dorothy Fairfax, whose sudden appearance ignites both danger and a fierce devotion. As the crew wrestles with mutiny, secret conspiracies, and a looming chase through the Chesapeake waters, the narrative balances razor‑sharp combat with moments of tender humanity, offering a vivid portrait of courage, love, and the relentless pull of the sea.
