The Pirates of the Dark Water is a fantasy series produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1991. It ran for two seasons totally 21 episodes from Febuary 25, 1991 to May 23, 1995. The series ended abruptly before the main protagonist could recover all thirteen treasures. A disapointment to long time fans of the series.
