Dan Tempest's War with Spain
Prismark104 June 2023
With Governor Woodes Rogers written out of the show. His character has gone away on an urgent secret mission.

This allows Robert Shaw to very much take over. The only issue is whether Dan Tempest will go back to be a pirate or remain someone to protect the Island of New Providence.

The ineffectual Lt Beamish is made the Acting Governor. He has introduced strict rules such as a curfew. After some rowdy behaviour in a bar. Tempest and his men have been locked up in jail.

Meanwhile a Spanish Galleon has landed with Beamish giving them a royal welcome. Not knowing that the uneasy truce has shattered, Britain and Spain are back at war.

The island is taken over by the Spanish. What Captain Philip Catalan does not know, Tempest and his crew escaped from prison and took over his ship which was left defenceless.

Dan Tempest then decides to expel the Spaniards from New Providence rather the be a pirate.

With the decision made, Tempest is the hero of the series.
