Confederacy, (Blockade Covers) 1861 (Jul. 20) Augusta, Ga. to Fernandina, Florida by Coastal Steamer Evading Blockade. Readable "Augusta, Ga.

Estimate; $300 - 400.

The covers from this correspondence in 1861 have been identified as internal CSA blockade covers. The blockade was declared shortly after Fort Sumter but was not in full effect until later in 1861. Savannah, however, was blockaded beginning in late May 1861. The mail route for this cover was from Augusta to Savannah and then to the north coast of Florida including the Port of Fernandina by coastal packet successfully evading the blockade. The coastal route was known as Mail Route 6003, which ceased operations because of the blockade in mid December 1861. This is covered in a Confederate Philatelist article "South Atlantic Blockade Run Mail" by Skip Hensel appearing in the Sep-Oct 1979 issue. (Image1)
