Civil War 'Teaser': Blockade Runner Found Off North Carolina Coast
"Three blockade runners are known to have been lost in that area: the Agnes E. Fry, Spunkie and Georgianna McCaw. The Union blockade was nicknamed the 'Anaconda Plan' and designed to choke off supply lines to the Confederacy during the height of the war. Ships, including steam ships and sailing vessels tried to bypass the blockade, usually at night and at high speeds."
