Abstract:

Blockade running off the state's coast ran primarily out of Wilmington. Speedy steam engines attempted to pass Union blockading vessels from 1861 to the bitter end of the Civil War in 1865. In 1943, shipwrecks remains found were victims of the elements or enemy ships. A list is presented for wrecks off Hanover County and points south: Phantom, Nutfield, Wild Darrell, Fanny and Jenny, Doe, Venus, Lynx, Hebe, Beauregard, Night Hawk, Modern Greece, Condor, Petrel, Duoro, Raleigh, Arabian, Antonica, Spunky, Georgianna Mccaw, Bendigo, Elizabeth, Ranger, Dare, Vesta, etc.
