Blockade Runner Condor Has A Story to Tell


From the July 26, 2017, North State Journal  "Sunken Civil War blockade runner has a story to tell to North Carolina divers and snorkelers" by Donna King.

You can dive or snorkel on the wreck, located just off Fort Fisher, but if that is not your thing, you can find out a lot about the stricken ship on land through artifacts at the Fort Fisher museum and a replica of its engine room at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.

The wreck itself is now an Official Heritage Dive Site and is administered by the Office of State Archaeology.

It is intend "to educate, to further heritage tourism and to teach divers stewardship."
