Wreck of the blockade runner Georgiana

The Civil War steamer Georgiana was described in contemporary documents as the most powerful Confederate cruiser. The wreck was discovered in 1965 by Dr. E. Lee Spence, who salvaged over 1,000,000 individual artifacts from the wreck. The blockade runners Mary Bowers, Norseman, and Constance Decimer were all lost by running onto this wreck.
