Opis

A man has few thoughts when being washed to sea other than staying alive; hanging onto anything that will give him purchase and floats. Death's siren calls from the sea and beckons men to her depths with the haunting screams and final prayers lost in the mournful howling of the storm. But life's will forever tugs and is the last great instinct of man. Little did John O'Donnell realize, as he grappled for salvation amongst the wreckage of his ship, that one day his own distant grandson Ryan O'Donnell would captain a crew to the grave of the 'Scurrilous'. When rugged young marine engineer, Ryan O'Donnell discovers ancient papers passed down in his family that hint at a chance to fulfill a boyhood dream, he gathers a motley crew that includes the beautiful Jamestown tavern owner, Amanda Youst, and sets sail. The search for the 'Scurrilous', a 17th century treasure laden Man-O-War captained by the privateer John O'Donnell, is met with both manmade and natural dangers that test the mettle of the crew and forges bonds of blood. Hurricanes and unscrupulous salvers cannot squelch their determination or tenacity as they seek a king's treasure in the straights of Florida. Ryan O'Donnell must captain his crew to a four hundred year old secret that may mean unimaginable riches or a grave reserved for him by the lost crew of the 'Scurrilous'.
