I Did Mention the Calypso


I was wondering whether or not I had mentioned the capture of the blockade-runner Calypso on June 11, 1863, and found that I must have as it was mentioned in the Civil War Naval Chronology which I use for my Naval Happenings 150 Years Ago.

 For JUNE 11TH, the CWNC listed: "U.S.S. Florida, Commander Bankhead, captured blockade running steamer Calypso attempting to dash into Wilmington with cargo including drugs, provisions, and plating for ironclads."
