What happens

Harbourmaster is an American adventure/drama series that ran on CBS from September 26, to December 26, 1957. On January 5, 1958, the series began running on ABC as Adventure at Scott Island, and it ended on June 29, 1958. Harbourmaster was a Ziv production. Despite the American origin of the show, and its setting in Massachusetts, the initial title of the show used the non-American spelling "Harbourmaster" (with a "u") in order to facilitate international sales of the program.
