PRIZE OF THE CHESAPEAKE

THE SITUATION

The Fell's Point Preservation Society had a problem. They were beginning their tourist season for 1912 and they need two things. One was a video to demonstrate the difference between a pirate and a privateer, and the second was a video that could highlight Fell's Point as a major shipbuilder whose contributions in the 1800's helped America become victorious during the war of 1812.  

OUR SOLUTION​​

Firesite Films decided to combine both issues into one 10 min film that would be shown on a Kiosk in the museum as well as their website.

The mission was to create a youth oriented film that explains the history of Fell’s Point, ​and clarifies the importance of privateers during the War of 1812.


Now join Susan, Joshua, and Petey the parrot thru a fun and entertaining educational video that explains the difference between a privateer and a pirate and shows why Fell's Point became the prize of the Chesapeake during the war of 1812.
