内战的第一次综合操作是捕获静态进口。该入口被同盟炮艇和私人商人在北卡罗来纳州海角帆船使用。这些南方商务袭击者的贬值是Carolinians的利润;然而，北方损失变得如此重要的是，几个主要的海上保险经纪人要求对这种情况做出的事情。这促使联盟的静态进口操作的发展。[1]

North Carolina’s Outer Banks

The North Carolina Sounds reached from the Virginia border to Cape Lookout, the eastern border of North Carolina. Four major inlets could be used to reach the Atlantic Ocean from the Sounds: Hatteras, Oregon, Ocracoke, and Beaufort (Old Inlet). Hatteras Inlet was best situated for commerce raiding. Cape Hatteras was the easternmost point within the Confederacy, overlooking the Gulf Stream. This current was very popular with merchant ships trading between Northern ports like New York, the Caribbean, and South America. Using the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the Confederates could signal waiting raiders about tempting merchantmen targets. “The enemy’s commerce,” wrote North Carolina governor John Ellis on April 27, 1861, “could be cut off by privateers on the coast of No. Carolina.” [2]阅读更多

This is a continuation of the story I shared in另一个博客about the Burnside Expedition and the battle for the NC Sounds and the capture of Roanoke Island.

Brigadier General Ambrose E. Burnside’s invasion of the North Carolina内陆海域取得了重大成功。在七天内，伯恩赛德队的支持下L.Migsborough的海军部队，已经捕获了Currituck，Albemarle，Roanoke和Croatan的声音。这让伯恩斯赛德的军队能够捕捉他的下一个客观，新伯尔尼，北卡罗来纳州。阅读更多

乔治B.麦克莱纳州长的主要一般普通人认识到需要综合行动来压倒同盟战争努力。拥有超过3,000英里的海岸线捍卫，南方人往往无法有效保护沿海领土。哈特拉斯入口和港口皇家声音的捕捞是果断的果断行动，进一步推动温菲尔德斯科特的蟒蛇计划。Brigadier General Ambrose Burnside的Roanoke Island Expeivition将在联邦的核心袭击。这项努力征服北卡罗来纳州内陆海域将于1862年结束战争。

The Great Inland Sea

The loss of Hatteras Inlet was a rude awakening for North Carolina. The Federals suddenly had complete access to the sounds, and the key to the control of the various shallow bodies of water was Roanoke Island, located at the confluence of the Albemarle and Currituck Sounds. These large sounds led to Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia, via the Great Dismal Swamp and the Albemarle & Chesapeake Canals. This was the backdoor to the South’s largest shipbuilding center and was a direct link to Richmond. These sounds gave access to critical North Carolina river ports such as Elizabeth City, Edenton, and Plymouth.阅读更多

帮助识别一个神秘的神器

在过去的13年里，Noaa考古学家和海军救助博物馆保护商已经发现了百分之百的神奇文物Monitor‘s revolving gun turret. Some artifacts, like the Dahlgren guns, gun carriages, and gun tools, are undergoing conservation as I type this blog entry. Others have already been fully conserved and are now on display within the USSMonitorCenter at The Mariners’ Museum or have been loaned to other institutions around the country to help shareMonitor迷人的故事。

However, there are handful of artifacts that continue to mystify us in the lab, particularly those that have been fully conserved but not properly identified. It may sound strange or surprising that in the last 13 years we have not successfully identified every single artifact from the turret. But this is often the case when many materials are excavated from an archaeological setting.阅读更多

您好忠实的读者，欢迎回到本月的伪影！本月，我们将从第二次世界大战中建造的自由船上看271,000英镑的发动机Dionysus。上周，在博客上工作时，我必须拍摄博物馆的背面，在博物馆的后面，存储所有宏伪影。在探索时，我的主管展示了自己和另一个在棚子里的发动机，以保护它免受元素保护。棚子本身与外面有点令人毛骨悚然，但内部的发动机是壮丽的。它是巨大的，只是你的织机，零件和碎片大小与我大致相同。

号航空母舰Dionysus最初是为HOMS为皇家海军而建造的可信作为Lend-租赁计划的一部分，而是由美国海军保存。它于1945年被委托作为海军的维修船，并在第二次世界大战结束时被派入太平洋战区。在战争结束之后，Dionysuswas put in the United States Naval Reserve Fleet until the outbreak of the Korean War in 1952, when it was added to the Atlantic Fleet. Following the end of the Korean War,Dionysuswas again put on reserve until it was scrapped.Dionysuswas a Liberty ship, which was a type of ship produced by the United States Maritime Commission in World War II and was constructed from standardized parts that were made across the country. They, liberty ships, were made for under $2,000,000 and held 27 officers and 497 enlisted sailors, in addition to 2,840 Jeeps, 440 tanks or 230 million rounds of rifle ammunition. During the war about 200 of the ships were lost due to a variety of reasons, but two different ships, SS耶利米奥布拉伦和ss.约翰布朗survived, and are both open to the public. The engine was removed in 1978 and donated to The Mariners’ Museum and put on display. The engine itself is approximately 271,000 pounds with all of its components assembled, and is the main triple expansion steam engine ofDionysus。Later that same year,狄俄尼索斯'船体沉没在北卡罗来纳州的海岸，成为海岸线的一部分人造珊瑚礁。自1974年以来，这是第四艘自由船在那里沉没，位于俄勒冈州进口南部约五英里。阅读更多
