The Confederate North Carolina During the Civil War the Confederate States Navy had an iron-clad sloop named North Carolina. She was 150 feet long, with a 32-foot beam, and carried four guns. She was built in Wilmington, North Carolina, and because she was structurally weak, never crossed the bar out of the Cape Fear River. The ship was active from late 1863 until September 27, 1864 when she developed leaks and sank.
