Historical Ports and Shipyards

[Guinness]

The Confederate States of America is rich in natural harbors and anchorages for ships of all types. Numerous natural- albeit shallow- bays and sounds are so plentiful that safe harbor can be found virtually anywhere for small ships of up to 15 feet of draft. Additionally, several sites have been dredged out to accommodate the largest warships in the fleet. This is a list of those major anchorages:
