Sea Hawk scenery?

The swamp scene after the prison break looked more like central America than Virginia.

Plenty of swamp and marsh land in Virginia back in the day. A lot of it has been filled for construction, so it's not as common today as it once was.

Yes..Captain..I agree. I was speaking botanically. The flora in no way resembles tidewater Virginia. More like Central America. That was where the "Sea Hawk" reference came in..as that film was based on Drakes' famous ambush of the Spanish pack train across Panama. No biggie.
