• Wilkinson a Blockade Runner of Top Skill ; 21 Trips in Less Than a Year

Few logistical operations of the Civil War were so fraught with risk as the sea trade through the Federal blockade. Yet sea commerce was essential to the survival of the Confederacy and highly profitable to those who dared challenge the blockade. For most of the war, long, shallow-draft steamers cleared Southern ports, loaded to the gunwales with the cotton that was so much in demand in Europe. The same vessels returned with a mix of military supplies and luxury goods that helped sustain the Confederacy.

While visiting Philadelphia, he met and married Susan (surname is unknown) in 1859. At the start of the Civil War, he was forced to work for the Confederacy, first as a blockade-runner, and then on fortifications.
