All things dealing with the Civil War Navies and actions along the coasts and rivers and against forts. Emphasis will be placed on Fort Fisher and all operations around Wilmington, NC. And, of course, the Blockade and Running the Blockade.

8-26-63 PHOEBE
10-6-63 LAST TRIAL (I wrote about this capture this past Saturday in 150 Years Ago. At this point, the chart starts listing prize money.
11-5-63 VOLANTE, $1,210.91
1-15-64 MINNIE $3,065.40
1-28-64 RACER $5,609.25

All prizes except Spunky and Oramoneta adjudicated in Key West.
That brings total prize money divvied up to $17,128.12, a great sum of money back then. Like the recruiting poster I wrote about last month, join the Navy and have a shot at some prize money.
