rivateer Media has been actively working on a number of production and publishing projects. Here's a brief summary showing a glimpse of what we've been up to:

ollowing the success of its first published book "Building 18th Century Naval Artillery," Privateer Media began work on its second book about winemaking in colonial America. "A Guide to Winemaking in Early America" is a collaboration between Don Becker & Damian Siekonic and involves an intensive experiment that compares the historical winemaking techniques of the 18th and early 19th centuries with today's modern scientific approach to winemaking. The 2009 harvest provided the fruit that is the focus of this book's efforts, and copies are now available for purchse here.

n July of 2010 Privateer Media was contracted by the Seventh Ward Project for the National Park Service to provide the historical props and fabrication work for the new multimedia exhibit being designed for the "President's House" at Independence Hall. Filming for the exhibit took place at the Philadelphia Sound Stages in front of a green screen. Props included construction of a practical fireplace and chimney, pine floors, period furniture, doorways and all of the necessary items to bring the scenes to life. The exhibit opened to the public on December 15, 2010.

n October of 2009 the non-profit group Restigouche 1760, Inc from Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada contracted Privateer Media to manage a heritage festival in the towns of Campbellton and Pointe-a-la-Croix, Quebec in July of 2010. A dozen historical vessels comprised of longboats and batteau along with a battery of 18th century cannon were brought to Campbellton where they worked the Restigouche River as part of the weekend event.

n the spring of 2009 Privateer Media was approached by the German company Gruppe5 Filmproduktion to work on the National Geographic production of "America Before Columbus." The two hour long documentary was filmed at several locations throughout the United States and the Caribbean, and it was during the Pennsylvania segment that Privateer Media was brought on board to handle props, wardrobe, marine coordination and payroll.

The majority of the regional filming took place at French Creek State Park just west of Philadelphia. Post production wrapped quickly, and on November 22nd, 2009 the documentary aired for the first time on the National Geographic Channel.
