IT SEEMS THEY CHANGE OUT THE SIGNS SO I AM ADDING TWO SETS OF QUESTIONS. 1 SET IS FOR THE SIGN THAT IS UP NOW. IT IS ABOUT U.S. NAVY LT. WILLIAM N. JEFFERS. THE SECOND SET IS ABOUT CONFEDERATE GEN. WALTER GWYNN.

THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS PERTAIN TO THE SIGN ABOUT U.S. NAVY LT. WILLIAM N. JEFFERS.

The CSA Currituck was constructed in Norfolk in 186A.

On February 19, 186B if you had been here you would have seen "Union", a U.S. Army steamboat splashing its way north up the Currituck Sound.

U.S. Coast Survey, Albemarle Sound, 1C55.

There is a a picture of Lt. William N. Jeffers, by the turret of USS Monitor, taken in March 18D2.

THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS PERTAIN TO THE SIGN ABOUT CONFEDERATE GEN. WALTER GWYNN.

The CSA Currituck was constructed in Norfolk in 186A.

The CSA Currituck was finally sent back to Roanoke Island in February 186B under a flag of truce with terms of surrender,which were not accepted.

On June 9, 1CD1, Confederate Gen. Walter Gwynn, commander of the coastal defenses, urged Currituck County’s citizens to send both enslaved and free black laborers to build fortifications on Roanoke Island.

This place is hit or miss on activity so you do need to use stealth when going for this cache.  BYOP
