In October, 2000, the Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project presented an extraordinary week-long live video tour of underwater archaeological investigations at the wreck believed to be the flagship of the pirate Blackbeard. During the "tour", students from dozens of schools, along with audiences at the NC Maritime History Museum (Beaufort) and the NC Museum of History (Raleigh), asked questions of the divers and other participants.

Thanks to the efforts of Bill Lovin, Marine Grafics, Inc., and Rick Allen, Nautilus Productions, excerpts from the QARLive program have been produced in both Quicktime and RealPlayer formats. To view the QARLive video montage, simply follow the instructions below.

REALPLAYER

These are REALVIDEO movies and require REALPLAYER 8.0 or higher (note: make sure you look carefully for the free download). These movies will begin playing almost immediately and "stream" constantly depending on your connection. Use 150kbs for high speed networks and 28.8 for dialups.

QUICKTIME

The Quicktime .MOV file (approximately 27mb) is a HIGH-QUALITY Progressive Download movie. When started, it will download a portion of the movie before playing. Quicktime 4.0+ is required to view the video.
