Lockwood Folly Inlet Civil War Wrecks-- Part 3: Elizabeth, Bendigo and the USS Iron Age
The inlet is called by two names: Lockwood Folly Inlet and Lockwood's Ferry Inlet.
The USS Iron Age is the main problem with boats in the inlet.
The Elizabeth is west of the current channel and visible at low tide. Is this the one the man took pictures of with his drone? The Iron Age is southeast of the Elizabeth and the Bendigo is northwest of the Elizabeth.
There are at least four Civil War wrecks at the inlet. A map also shows one called the Lisa Marie there in the inlet shallows.
