The Battle of the Atlantic Video
A three-part video about the significance of the Battle of the Atlantic teaches visitors about the perceived threat of German invasion for Coastal Georgians.
Orientation Film
Fully produced by Silver Oaks, a 9-minute orientation theater film sets the stage for visitors – drawing them into the time period and showing them the realities of life at that time, along with Glynn County’s multifaceted role during the war.
The Brunswick Liberty Ships: Building For War Interactive
Touchscreen interactive programs also give visitors a unique perspective of the home front efforts. “The Brunswick Liberty Ships: Building for War” allows visitors to assemble and launch 5 of the ships constructed in Brunswick and then track their wartime journeys across the Atlantic and Pacific.
Radar Room Interactive
“Radar Room” introduces visitors to radar technology and the role of a Fighter Director, whose job it was to direct a squadron of pilots to intercept possible enemy aircraft.
Many of the media stations pull from the rich inventory of personal interviews that the historical society has captured over the years. Some stations are strictly audio stations where a visitor can push a button to hear a Coastal Georgian resident reminiscence about wartime life or the radar training school that was established on St. Simons. Touchscreen stations also feature stories about protecting the coastline from invasion and constructing Liberty Ships in Brunswick.
