SEPTEMBER 10TH, 1864: The USS Santiago de Cuba, Captain Glisson, seized the blockade-running steamer A.D. Vance at sea northeast of Wilmington with cargo of cotton.
The Advance (as it was also called) was one of the most successful blockade-runners and was mentioned in the New York papers along with the capture of the Elsie, which had a much more brief career.
