A piercing voyage into peril and persistence, Derelicts recreates the human stories stitched through ships that vanished at sea and the blockade runners that threaded peril with purpose. This edition presents James Sprunt's compelling maritime history narrative as a vivid historical travelogue, guiding readers through shipwrecks, naval theatres, and the North Carolina coast during the Civil War. It reads as both a careful record of events and a human chronicle of courage, loss, and endurance at sea, offering a clear, accessible conduit to understanding 1860s coastal North Carolina and the broader maritime theatre of the conflict. The book's form blends documentary detail with narrative sweep, making it a valuable library reference material and classroom study aid for students and curious minds alike. Historically significant and richly evocative, the work stands as a touchstone in civil war maritime studies, illuminating the logistics of blockade running and the daily realities of those who sailed, stranded, or searched for passage. Aimed at casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, this republication honours the original while restoring its resonance for today's and future generations-more than a reprint, a collector's item and a cultural treasure for education resources in schools and libraries.
