Lots of Naval Stuff Taking Place in North Carolina

From the June 19th Civil War Navy Sesquicentennial Blog.

Andrew Duppstadt says there are two major things of naval interest going on in North Carolina in the next several days.

June 23rd, tomorrow, the CSS Neuse hull makes a trip to move indoors to its new climate-controlled facility to prevent further deterioration after sitting outside since being raised during the war's centennial.  Hey, your last chance to see a Civil War ship on the move.

Then, next week, all sorts of stuff will be going on in regards to a blockade-runner Modern Greece which was sunk 150 years ago this month and rediscovered in June 1962, 100 years later where a treasure trove of artifacts were found.  A symposium will be held at UNC-Wilmington, a plaque dedicated at Fort Fsher and  the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch at Fort Fisher will have an open house.
