Rare Civil War Era Shipwreck Discovered?
I wish the source for the article was something other than the Huffington Post

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/civi...26?ref=yfp

they link to this article
http://www.ncdcr.gov/press-release/signi...d-nc-coast

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

This is for real. I live in NC, and it's actually in the area of Fort Fisher and its near the mouth of the Cape Fear river. The other fort mentioned was part of the Fort Fisher defense system during the War.
The mouth of the Cape Fear is huge-nearly 2 miles across.
I can just see the blockade runners trying to sneak out on a foggy night

You reminded me of the English folk song "Roll Alabama, Roll"
There are three different versions of the song

the traditional English version

the more modern (and upbeat) English version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fXHSRx3M5o

the American Folk version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qi1KQi1jjE

They are all quite interesting (Each has its own charm)

What doesn't remind you of a song? Just curious.
