Adventures of the Sea Hawk is a 1961 syndicated television series starring John Howard.
Background Episodes were filmed in 1958 with the title Caribbean Adventure, but the content "was too low-key and leisurely to foster sales in that violence-prone TV year." The title was changed, and Adventures of the Sea Hawk was released in 1961, amid "the public hue and cry over television mayhem". Even then, however, sales were limited.
An unsold pilot for a different Adventures of the Sea Hawk series was made in 1956. George O'Brien starred as the ship's captain. That pilot was broadcast as one episode of Studio 57.
