The true story of an eighteenth century ship sent to South America to strike a blow against the Spanish and bent on plunder. Shipwreck, death, deprivation, mutiny and a reckoning are elements in an extraordinary tale which reveals much about naval life and ethics as well as colonial conflict. A dramatic story superbly told and populated by intensely realised personalities placed in equally vivid landscapes.
