Shenandoah

The term Custom Cutter was used to describe ships used for rapid transport of precious or perishable goods along the Atlantic coast and to support or resupply larger vessels. The Shenandoah was built for the Confederacy. During the American Civil War, the smuggler ran ammunition bought from the British in Bermuda.
