Abstract:

Many blockade runners lie under the waters off of Wilmington's coast, once a prevalent spot for illegal trade between Wilmington and Bermuda. With the advent of SCUBA, self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, these wrecks can now be rediscovered and in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Archives, qualified divers retrieving artifacts will receive a quarter share in material recovered.
