EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Blockading fleet off Wilmington, New Inlet, October 1864" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history during the Civil War. This remarkable print, created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the intense naval operations that took place off the coast of Wilmington. The image showcases a formidable blockading fleet stationed at New Inlet in October 1864. These vessels were crucial in enforcing the Union's blockade strategy, which aimed to cut off Confederate supply lines and cripple their economy. The scene is filled with warships of various sizes and shapes, each representing immense power and determination. With meticulous attention to detail, this engraving captures the tension and grandeur of this historic event. The artist skillfully portrays billowing smoke rising from cannons as they fire upon unseen targets. The choppy waters surrounding these ships reflect both their strength and vulnerability amidst turbulent times. Originally published as an illustration for Harpers Pictorial History of the Civil War in 1886 by McDonnell Bros. , this digitally cleaned version allows viewers to appreciate its intricate details even more vividly today. This evocative artwork serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during one of America's darkest periods. It invites us to reflect on our nation's resilience while honoring those who fought valiantly for their beliefs on both sides of this conflict.
