The Stingaree in Sunflower Bay
A dramatic 19th century Naval tale recounts Captain Casement’s pursuit of justice in Sunflower Bay, where trader T. H. Biggar is murdered by a Kanaka youth named Billy. After a court martial condemns Billy to death, political tension and island danger test the crew’s loyalties as Billy endures a perilous voyage toward execution.
