Abstract:
The wreck of the Agnes E. Fry was located near the Cape Fear River mouth in 2016. Archaeologists experience almost zero visibility underwater in order to confirm the identity of the Civil War-era blockade runner. Three artifacts have since been pulled up and a 3D model is planned for the future.

Abstract:
Picking up where earlier researchers had left off with MODERN GREECE were eleven ECU’s maritime studies students. An early casualty of the Union, this blockade runner was found in the early 1960s. This team resumed the work of examining, cataloging, and describing the 11,500 artifacts from the ship sunk off the coast of Fort Fisher. Among those items were tableware, seen in an accompanying photo.

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.
