Voyage of the Scarlet Queen
Grafter's Fort and the Black Pearl of Galela Bay
by
Voyage of the Scarlet Queen follows Captain John Torrance and his crew aboard the schooner Scarlet Queen as they travel through the South Pacific. Their voyages bring them into contact with unfamiliar ports, local customs, and people whose lives intersect with the ship’s journeys.
Presented as a radio adventure, the series combines a continuing maritime setting with self-contained stories. The sea and the ship provide a vivid backdrop for encounters involving danger, mystery, and the challenges of life far from home. This recording is identified with the episode “Grafter's Fort and the Black Pearl of Galela Bay.”
The program’s appeal lies in its atmospheric seafaring world and its blend of adventure and suspense. The Scarlet Queen’s travels offer a lively escape into a radio landscape of distant islands, shifting fortunes, and the close-knit company of a working ship.
