All things dealing with the Civil War Navies and actions along the coasts and rivers and against forts. Emphasis will be placed on Fort Fisher and all operations around Wilmington, NC. And, of course, the Blockade and Running the Blockade.

Blockade Runner Condor
** The commander of the Condor was Captain Hewett.
** It was built by Randolph, Elder & Co. who built five ships: Ptarmigan, Flamingo, Falco(n), Evelyn and Condor.
** You Tube has a video of the shipwreck.
** The Condor had three funnels.
** There is also a You Tube animated video of the ship's sinking well worth watching.
