Tidewater Tramp was a Canadian children's adventure television series which aired on CBC Television from 1959 to 1961.
This Vancouver-produced series features the adventures of Captain Martin (Reg McReynolds) and his tramp steamer the Flying Kestrel. He carried cargo along the Inside Passage of British Columbia with the assistance of his daughter Gail (Maureen Cook) and coast cadet Peter (Robert William Chambers).
Most scenes were recorded in studio supplemented by location shots such as scenes from a British Columbia freighter.[1]
