"Every week....a league further…"

The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen was a high adventure radio program aired on Mutual from July 3, 1947 to February 14, 1948. It featured Elliot Lewis, who was also its director, as the sea captain Phillip Carney, and Ed Max as the supporting character Red Gallagher. Other actors that starred on the program include William Conrad, John Denner, and Ben Wright.

This radio program is said to be somewhat similar to Star Trek, as for every episode, there’s an opening and closing entries. Another similarity is that, being an adventure show, the characters sail to different places, meet different people, and get into various troubles. Story and production-wise, the Voyage of the Starlet Queen is regarded as one of the best radio shows of its time. In fact, a TV show entitled The Log of the Black Pearl derived its concept from this radio program. Click here to read more about Voyage Of The Scarlet Queen, The

CBS broadcast this exciting high sea radio adventure from 3 July 1947 to 14 February 1948. James Burton produced the scripts by Gil Doud and Robert Tallman. Elliott Lewis starred as Philip Carney, master of the 78-foot ketch Scarlet Queen, with Ed Max as first mate Red Gallagher. Each episode opens with an entry from the ship's log: "Log entry, the ketch Scarlet Queen, Philip Carney, master. Position -- three degrees, seven minutes north, 104 degrees, two minutes east. Wind, fresh to moderate; sky, fair..." with a similar closing: "Ship secured for the night. Signed, Philip Carney, master." Arriving at an exotic port of call, the captain and first mate would go ashore and immediately run into trouble with local authorities, agents of rival merchants, or desperate women in need of rescue. After some investigation and at least one good fight they would solve the problem, get back on the ship and sail away, Carney and Gallagher sharing a laugh and a drink at the wheel before the captain's closing log entry. This program was among the better radio productions of the time, employing realistic sound effects and sailing terminology, well paced stories and colorfully detailed settings. Most places visited by the Queen are real. Even the map coordinates given by the captain are mostly accurate, following a zigzag course around the South Pacific.
