OCTOBER 15TH, 1864: Acting Master's Mate John Woodman completed his third daring and successful reconnaissance of the Confederate position at Plymouth, North Carolina, reporting that the CSS Albemarle moored at the wharf as before, and the apparent abandonment of efforts to raise the captured steamer USS Southfield.
This information enabled Lt. William Cushing to sink the Albemarle later in the month.
Another Brave Union Officer. --Old B-R'er
