Contents

Despite the American origin of the show, and its setting in Massachusetts, the initial title of the show used the non-American spelling "Harbourmaster" (with a "u") in order to facilitate international sales of the program.

Synopsis

R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company sponsored both versions of the program. [3] Reynolds apparently sought another sponsor to pay for alternate weeks of the CBS broadcasts but ended up as the sole sponsor. [4] [1] [5] [6]
