The White Cargo Act and Ah Sin

by

Voyage of the Scarlet Queen follows Captain John T. Quince and his crew aboard the schooner Scarlet Queen as they sail the South Seas. Their voyages bring them into contact with unfamiliar ports, local customs, and people whose lives intersect with the ship’s travels.

The program is an adventure drama told through radio performance, using dialogue, narration, and sound to evoke life at sea and the places the crew encounters. Its stories combine maritime action with human conflicts and the atmosphere of distant islands and trading routes.

With its seafaring setting and episodic journeys, the series offers a blend of exploration, suspense, and character-driven adventure. This recording is titled “The White Cargo Act and Ah Sin.”
