The Blackbird - The high-tech speedboat on the fantasy adventure THE 100 LIVES OF BLACK JACK SAVAGE/NBC/1991. The Blackbird was built by scientist inventor Logan "FX" Murphy (Steve Hytner) from the body of a SR71 spy plane to help his friend Barry Tarberry (Daniel Hugh-Kelly) battle crime around the Caribbean islands. The Blackbird moored at a secret dock at Blackbird Castle on San Pietro Island. The speedboat took its name from a pirate ship once captained by a 17th century buccaneer named Black Jack Savage (now a ghost who joined forces with Barry to win his way into heaven).
