Eight years before the adventure chronicled in ‘Return to Treasure Island’, Long John Silver was first mate to the infamous pirate Red Beard on his ship the Meriwether. A member of a secret organization within the Confederacy of Southern States, Red Beard prowled the Caribbean waters plundering ships for his cause and burying the spoils.

In this exciting tale, the Meriwether encounters a fleet of six Spanish vessels loaded with treasure from South America. Against all odds, a daring plan is hatched, followed by a traitorous bargain between Long John Silver and Red Beard.
