Wreck of a CSS Tallahassee Victim Found Off Long Island-- Part 1: Packet Ship Adriatic


From the March 31, 2020, Civil War Talk  "CSS Tallahassee and CSS Alabama Off  Long Island"by OtselicNY.

Always interested when a Civil War shipwreck is found and especially when it involves Fort Fisher and Wilmington, North Carolina, which this article definitely refers to since the ship that sank the ship that was found was the CSS Tallahassee based out of Wilmington.

Skin divers recently found the wreck of the sailing ship Adriatic 30 miles off Montauk Point, Long Island.  It was sunk by the commerce raider CSS Tallahassee in August 1864 which sank six ships off Long Island over a couple days.
