Shall say this factual story named Barbary Coast war between the pirates and the recently formed US Navy took place at Mediterranean sea due those North African provinces like as Tunis, Algiers, Tripoli and Morocco as well they used to taken and held Merchant Ships from everywhere that used to passing by for those waters toward Mediterranean's countries, requesting high ransoms in gold to their compatriots as appears on episode at stake.

This episode has an inexcusable mistake concerning the island whereof the forest expose in the story wasn't accurate due such place is a dry territory, so put a lavish rain forest in such area is a fateful error made by Irwin Allen's crew, don't get me wrong by it, however this smallest mistakes spoil a great show like the priceless The Time Tunnel properly speaking.
