Government Sale of Burned Vessels at Germantown Harbor
A Civil War era report notes lively bids at a government sale of burned hulls and wreckage at Germantown harbor. Prices included $2,900 for a German scout hull, $3,200 for Plymouth hull, and $520 for gunboat hull No.1. Buyers from Baltimore and New York purchased various copper and metal components, with overall high prices reflecting the cost to raise and salvage the wrecks. An observer suggested selling remaining burned hulls nearby to hasten removal and realize handsome profits. Separately, Lavis T. Fox and Cong Scucatza escaped from Danville Prison No 5 in Virginia via a 75-foot tunnel, reaching Union lines near Suffolk after brutal conditions and short rations.
