AUGUST 11, 2016: The blockade-runner Louisa, pursued by the USS Penguin, Commander John L. Livingston, struck shoal near Cape Fear, North Carolina, and sank.
This is the first mention I've come across of any blockade-runner being destroyed or captured attempting to run into or out of the Cape Fear River. If so, it was the first of many, not to mention the ones that were successful.
