Description
Treasure Island Revisited is based on the true Newfoundland adventure story, which inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's classic book Treasure Island. It tells the story of the real Long John Silver, Captain John Keating of St. John's, and how he obtained the map to the lost treasure of Lima, a treasure that today is estimated to be worth in excess of one hundred million dollars.
