N.C. Beachgoer Captures Drone Footage of Civil War Shipwreck

From the April 4, 2018, Fox News  "N.C. beachgoer captures drone footage of Civil War-era shipwreck"  Madeline Farber.

Brent  Garlington, 42, flew a drone over Lockwood Folly Inlet, N.C., near Holden Beach and Oak Island.  It was a real low tide because of the full moon.  He walked out to the beach sandbar and sent his drone skyward.

What he got were very sharp pictures of the outline of the ship as well as two smokestacks partially above the water.

His brother had spotted the wreck from a helicopter last year.

In 2016, the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources found this shipwreck, believed to be one of three Civil war blockade runners sunk in the area.
