Derelicts - James Sprunt - Bog

Derelicts is a non-fiction book written by James Sprunt and published in 1920. The book provides an account of ships lost at sea in general commercial traffic and a brief history of blockade runners stranded along the North Carolina coast during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. Sprunt documents the various reasons for ships being lost at sea, including storms, collisions, and navigational errors. He also explores the history of blockade runners, which were ships used to smuggle goods through the Union blockade of Confederate ports during the Civil War. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in maritime history and the American Civil War, as it provides a detailed account of the dangers faced by ships and the people who sailed them during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
