| Twenty-two samples
of coal and eight samples of clinkers have been recovered from the
wreck site. Although there has not yet been any systematic investigation
of the coal, preliminary examination suggests that it is bituminous
rank. There are no data at the present time to indicate whether
the coal is from the original wreck, and used for cooking or heating,
or whether it is intrusive. Beaufort was a major fueling station
for naval steamships during the Civil War. |
