OCTOBER 6TH, 1864: The USS Wamsutta reported the blockade-runner Constance hard aground and sunk near Long Island in Charleston Harbor while trying to enter the port.
Acting Master Charles W. Lee reported: "...as she is completely submerged in about 3 fathoms of water I could ascertain nothing about her except that she is a Clyde-built vessel of the class of the Mary Bowers, and was evidently bound in."
