Abstract:

A 1962 storm revealed the wreckage of Modern Greece, a Civil War blockade runner near Fort Fisher. Its discovery led to the inception of the state's underwater archaeology program - an effort coordinated between navy divers, the state's governor, and chief of naval operations. Thousands of artifacts were recovered from Modern Greece including: weapons, medical equipment, tableware, and other manufactured goods not available to the Confederacy.
