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.

Park Day 2019 at Fort Fisher Saturday, April 6
Looking for something to do in southeast North Carolina tomorrow, April 6, and for a good cause?
Head on out to Kure Beach, all the way down to near the end of US Highway 421 on Federal Point, also known as Pleasure Island these days.
And that place you'd be going is Fort Fisher, my number one favorite Civil War place. I'd sure love to be there, but alas, it is a question of way too many miles between there and here for me in northeastern Illinois.
From 8:30 to noon, they'll put you to work (no pay but you'll feel good to be doing some hood).
Be sure to wear comfortable work clothing and gave a pair of gloves
A luncheon will be provided from Michelangelo's Pizza and participants will get a free Park Day tee-shirt.
For more information, call 910-251-7342.
This is put on by the Friends of Fort Fisher and the Fort Fisher State Historic Site.
Sure'd Like To Be There, But. --Old Secesh
