July 12: “Naval Blockade: Success or
Failure?”
Blockading Confederate ports was a primary
objective of the Union navy. Toward that end, thousands of
sailors in hundreds of ships spent year-after-year on blockade
duty attempting to sever the South’s oceanic life lines. Did
the blockade work? CDR Dennis Ringle, USNR, author of Life
in Mr. Lincoln’s Navy, comes to grips with this question and
provides insight to the problems the Federal navy encountered in
tightening its hold on the Southern coast. |
