The adventure of a lifetime awaits in "Captains Courageous"! This classic coming-of-age story follows the journey of Harvey Cheyne, a spoiled rich young man who is washed overboard from a luxury ocean liner and must learn to survive on a fishing boat.

Through hard work and discipline, Harvey learns the values of self-reliance and friendship as he becomes a skilled fisherman and an equal member of the crew.
