Nova Scotia, 1952. Not exactly the place you'd expect to run into
pirates. But an old mariner, his boat driven ashore in a gale, brings
with him enough stories about buccaneers and their lore to make it seem
that he must have had firsthand experience of the pirate life. But how
is that possible? Captain Charles Johnson's uncanny knowledge of
seamanship's dark side fuels the imagination of the young boy he
befriends, setting the boy on his own journey of mysterious adventure.
