Abstract:

Confederate blockade runners often tried to break the Union blockade around Wilmington. One of the more prominent blockade runner ships was the C.S.S. Robert E. Lee. The first in a two-part series by The State, illustrations of the Union capture of the C.S.S. Armstrong, as well as armaments onboard chase boats, are featured.
