⚓ LOST OFF TOPSAIL ISLAND: THE MYSTERY OF THE CIVIL WAR SHIP PHANTOM

Did you know that beneath the waters near Topsail Island lies the remains of a Civil War blockade runner?

Her name was the PHANTOM.

On September 23, 1863, during the Civil War, the steel-hulled steamer Phantom ran aground near Topsail Inlet while attempting to evade Union naval forces.

The Phantom was a blockade runner. These ships risked everything to slip past Union blockades and carry desperately needed supplies to the Confederacy.

But the Phantom's journey ended along our North Carolina coast.

Historical records tell us that she carried a fascinating cargo:

Arms and am******on
Medicines
Lead ingots
Other government supplies and merchandise
When the vessel ran aground, her crew abandoned ship and set it on fire rather than allow it to be captured.

The Union vessel USS Connecticut sent men to investigate the burning ship, but the fire and surf made it impossible to save her.

Today, the remains of the Phantom lie buried beneath the waters of Topsail Inlet, a quiet reminder of a dramatic chapter in our coastal history.

Think about that the next time you stand on the beach near Topsail Island. Beneath those waves are stories of war, desperate voyages, and ships that never made it home.

A piece of history hiding beneath our own coastline.

Have you ever heard of the Phantom? Do you know of any other shipwreck stories around Topsail Island?

I'd love to hear your stories!
