North Carolina. USS Wilderness, Acting Master Henry Arey, and USS Niphon, Acting Master Kemble, seized the blockade-running British steamer Annie off New Inlet, with a cargo of tobacco, cotton, and turpentine.

"Capture of Blockade Runner Annie October 31, 1864.-Sketch by Charles F. Ellmore." From left to right: USS Howquah; USS Alabama launch; USS Wilderness; USS Nipon; blockade runner Annie; USS Kansas; USS Alabama. State Archives of North Carolina
SS Annie (future USS Preston)
(ScStr: tonnage 428; length 170'; beam 23'1"; depth of hold 13'4")
The twin screw British blockade runner Annie, carrying a cargo of turpentine, tobacco, and cotton, was captured off New Inlet, N. C., by Wilderness and Niphon on 31 October 1864, was purchased by the Navy from the New York Prize Court in December 1864. Renamed Preston on 2 February 1865, the vessel was commissioned on 6 February 1865, Acting Volunteer Lt. J. R. Wheeler in command.
English steamer Annie, laden with cotton, tobacco and spirits of turpentine, was captured by the Wilderness and Niphon while attempting to run the blockade from New Inlet. The runner surrendered after a brief chase of ten minutes, during which 13 shots were fired from the Federal gunboats. As the crew of the Annie was being transferred to the Niphon, the guns of Fort Fisher joined the action, and a shell entered the Wilderness, causing some damage. During this affair, the captors made no signal to other Federal vessels in the area, and were thus promptly accused of trying to claim the prize for themselves. Porter was furious, maintaining that the Annie's capture was jeopardized by the failure to warn the adjacent vessels of her approach. The officers of the Wilderness and Niphon were reprimanded. "This war is not being conducted for the benefit of officers or to enrich them by the capture of prizes," Porter declared, "and every commander is deficient in the high moral character which has always been inherent in the Navy who for a moment consults his private interests in preference to the public good, hesitates to destroy what is the property of the enemy, or attempts to benefit himself at the expense of others."

Georgia. The British steamer Bermuda ran the blockade out of Savannah with 2,000 bales of cotton.
americancivilwarhighcommand.com
SS Bermuda
(ScStr: t. 1,238; l. 211'; b. 21'7"; dph. 21'2"; dr. 16'8"; s. 11 k.; cpl. 122; a. 1 9" sb., 2 30 pdr. P.r.)
Bermuda, an iron-hulled screw steamer, was built in 1861 at Stockton-on-Tees, England, by Pearse and Lockwood to take advantage of the extraordinary profits which could be made by running cargoes of war-making materiel through the Union blockade to the munitions-hungry Confederacy. Originally owned by Edwin Haigh, a Liverpool cotton broker, the ship was secretly sold, about the time of her completion, to Messrs. A. S. Henckle and George Alfred Trenholme of Charleston, S.C. While her new owners hoped to realize a profit from operating the steamer, they evinced even more interest in proving the Federal blockade of the South ineffective and therefore non-binding in international law. By proving the Union Navy's efforts to close Southern ports only a "paper blockade," they would prompt other investors to follow their example and thus assure the South a steady flow of supplies to sustain its struggle for independence. Bermuda was then chartered to Frasier Trenholme and Co., a British corporation that served the Confederate government as its commercial and financial agent in the British Isles.
Soon after she was launched, probably in late July or early August 1861, Bermuda, Eugene L. Tessier, master, dropped down the Tees River to West Hartlepool where she loaded the first cargo purchased in England by agents of the Confederate War Department. She departed West Hartlepool on 18 August, proceeded south along England's North Sea coast, transited the Strait of Dover, and steamed the length of the English Channel to Falmouth where she arrived on the morning of the 22d. She topped off her coal bunkers there and resumed her westward voyage, leaving above her wake a cloud of false rumors intended to cloak her destination and the true nature of her mission. Some said that she was a supply ship taking provisions and munitions to the Royal Navy; others that she was carrying a general cargo to Cuba. Still others identified her as a merchantman bound for one of the British colonies. While these cover stories did not misle Federal agents in the British Isles, they did succeed in preventing Bermuda's being held in port for violating the United Kingdom's Foreign Enlistment Act.
After crossing the Atlantic under British colors, Bermuda took advantage of a severe storm that had forced the blockading Union frigate Savannah out to sea and slipped into Savannah where she delivered a million-dollar cargo of war material. She then filled her holds with some 2,000 bales of cotton that she hoped to deliver in England to support Confederate credit abroad. The steamer departed Savannah on the night of 1 November 1861 and slipped through the Union blockade before dawn the next morning. After pausing at Bermuda and at Le Havre, France, en route, she reached Liverpool on 23 January 1862.
