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 Runners At Nassau January 26, 1865: Little Hattie Was There
Since I was writing about H,S. Lebby and the Little Hattie in earlier posts this month.
From the March 21, 1865, Savannah Daily Herald.
A Dispatch from Nassau dated Jan. 26 stated:
The following vessels: Flamingo, Falcon, Hansen, Banshee (II), Stag, Emily, Dream, Secret, Night Hawk, Wild Rover, Susan Bierne, Badger, Star, Rothsay Castle, Ellen Denma, Kenitworth, Marimon, Mars. Little Hattie, Mory and Ella, Colonel Lamb, Watson, Alice, and General Clinch are all lying here idle, part of them having never made a run.
The Vulture and Evelyn have gone to Havana for repairs. It is reported that the Will of the Wisp has been captured off Galveston.
