Voyage of the Scarlet Queen

The Fat Trader and the Sword from Apo Kayan

von

Voyage of the Scarlet Queen follows Captain Philip Carney and the crew of his schooner as they sail the South Seas in search of adventure and cargo. Carney’s voyages bring him into contact with unfamiliar ports, dangerous waters, and people whose fortunes become entangled with his own.

The program is an adventure drama told through the crew’s travels, with each story unfolding against the changing settings and challenges of life at sea. Its maritime world combines suspense, action, and encounters with the customs and conflicts of distant islands.

Carney’s steady command and the crew’s varied personalities give the series a human center amid its exotic settings. The result is a vivid radio journey shaped by nautical atmosphere, peril, and the promise of another port beyond the horizon.
