📒 Enterprise of the 1600s is a sea story, a business story, about overcoming great odds and continually making the best of a situation. It tells how positive thinking, seizing opportunities, and building win-win relationships can work even in a world coming out of the dark ages. Dennis Merritt as a boy was kidnapped and forced to work as a crew on a merchant sailing ship.

The ruling governments were jealous of his success and angry that he had avoided paying huge tributes back to them. Outwitting them was dangerous. Watch as Dennis plans and maneuvers to stay alive and thrive while building the most successful worldwide enterprise of the times.
