The adventures of John Storm and the Elizabeth Swann. John Storm is an ocean adventurer and conservationist. The Elizabeth Swann is a fast solar powered boat. During a race around the world, news of the sinking of a pirate whaling ship reaches John Storm and his mate Dan Hook. They decide to abandon the race and try and save the whale. This is a modern Moby Dick, the twist being that there is a happy ending for everyone featuring this $Billion Dollar Whale, even the whalers. Herman Melville would approve.

In this scene, John Storm discovers an advanced solar powered boat tucked away in a large waterside workshop in a sheltered location near Nelson's Cove, (Nelson Bay) on the East coast of Australia.

This is the inheritance that his uncle, Professor Douglas Storm has bequeathed to him, more as a challenge.

He assembles the vessel, discovers a wonderful diner, and names the unusual boat the Elizabeth Swann. He also befriends a cat.
