Abstract:

Childhood contact with government officials, along with marriage to a man with a post in the US State Department, made Rose O’Neal Greenhow apt for her role in the Civil War. As a slave owner and staunch anti-abolitionist, she was a natural fit as a Confederate spy. Even during her 1861 house arrest, she shared the Union Army’s secrets with top military brass in Richmond. Ranking within the Confederate government and a government post abroad, along with her memoir’s publication, assured that her death by sea would not sink Greenhow to obscurity.

Abstract:

The area aptly called “the Graveyard of the Atlantic” contains the Condor. The Civil War blockade runner is one of many sea stops along the Heritage Dive Trail. This trail, which helps the public access sunken ships along the coast, is slated to include more viewable wrecks in the next four years.
