What happens in Captain Clegg from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In 1776, a silent, mute sailor known only as the mulatto is marooned on a remote island after a violent clash with the wife of pirate captain Nathaniel Clegg. Fast forward to 1792, and the legend says Clegg was captured by the Royal Navy and hanged, his grave supposedly marking the edge of the coastal village of Dymchurch on the Romney Marsh. The marsh itself is haunted by the so-called Marsh Phantoms—ghostly riders who streak by under cover of night, spreading fear through the countryside.
