Civil War-era Wooden Ship Near Fort Morgan, AL

Civil War-era Wooden Ship Near Fort Morgan, AL

(Fort Morgan, AL)  Is it a blockade runner from the Civil War?  Was it already aground when Union Admiral David Farragut entered Mobile Bay in the late summer of 1864?  In 2008 Hurricane Ike uncovered a greater portion of a 150-foot long wooden ship long-buried in shifting sands.   Locals and Civil War buffs have seen this historic treasure before —  just after the winds of Hurricane Ivan blew away its protective sand blanket.  Drive to Mile Marker 6 on the Fort Morgan Road (Alabama Highway 180), which is part of the Alabama Scenic Byways Program.  Fort Morgan Road (officially the Dixie Graves Parkway) can be accessed from Alabama State Highway 59 in Baldwin County, or take the Mobile Bay Ferry from Interstate 10.
