Abstract:
The Confederate Torpedo Bureau was an initiative by Confederate leaders to find alternatives to protect the South's coastline and harbors from a much larger Union Navy. Wilmington was the state's torpedo building center. Another Confederate Torpedo Bureau initiative in the state includes the cooperative efforts between Captain Rains and Colonel William Lamb in constructing and designing defenses for Fort Fisher.
