Wilkinson's Point, NC

In today's Naval Happenings entry, I mentioned that on May 26, 1863, Union ships destroyed schooners and boats at Wilkinson's Point, NC.  Later, they covered an Army landing to occupy the place.  There was the clue of it being on the Neuse River.  I'd never heard of it so looked it up.  Not much at all on it.

I did determine, though that it is near New Bern, NC, and probably upriver since the Union already controlled the city at the time.

Not Much At All.  --Old B-R'er
