Abstract:

With a history of over two centuries, it is only natural that Wilmington should have many unusual, historic, and odd things of interest. For example, in the St. James Episcopal Church there hangs a famous painting of Christ which was taken from a capture Spanish pirate ship that attempted to seize the town of Brunswick in 1748. Among other things, there is also the Bellamy Mansion, an example of Greek Revival architecture, which was occupied by Union forces during the American Civil War.
