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.

Pictures of the 154th Anniversary Fort Fisher
The Wilmington (NC) Star-News has a large number of photographs taken from the 154th Anniversary of the Second Battle of Fort Fisher which was held on January 12, 2019. The actual battle took place Jan. 13-15, 1865.
Twenty-four color photographs. Several were of the 117th New York Infantry re-enactors, plus the 3rd N.C. Junior Reserves (under the age of 18) Also, Company F, 10th North Carolina Artillery, (Andrews Battery).
Everyone was wearing heavy coats as it must have been cold out there.
Search Photos: 154th anniversary Battle of Fort Fisher to view them.
I am hoping to be there for the 155th anniversary next January. Every five years it is an even bigger event.
