The Union used ships to enforce a blockade on the ports of the south, so that they could not import war goods or export cash crops like cotton and tobacco. The Union also used ships to transport troops and as gunboats to bombard enemy cities and forts. Ships were very important to bring supplies to armies far from home. The most famous ships of the south were the blockade runners, small fast ships meant to take a few tons of cargo and sneak past the Union blockade.
The naval blockade prevented the Confederacy from receiving supplies from Britain(mostly). It also prevented goods from shipping out so the money which would otherwise be made by this commerce was reduced. In an effort to defeat the blockade "Blockade Runners"were used. These were low-profile,fast ships that could sometimes get past the larger Union Navy ships and make it to port.

The Berlin Blockade was supposed to cause the allies to give up western Berlin to the Soviet forces, but instead the allies constantly airlifted supplies past the blockade until it was lifted.
Long ago people thought that the world was flat, and that sailing ships would fall over the edge.

They didn't sneak by, they were just small and fast ships that could get away fast enough.

Mostly the Union Naval blockade that was enforced on Southern ports. The South used ships called "blockade runners" to try to get past the blockade. These were mostly smaller, very streamlined, low-profile vessels which could move faster through the water than the larger standard navy ships of the Union Navy. This allowed them to outrun the Union ships. The blockade also prevented importing of goods from other countries
That pirate won't get past our blockade this time, sir.
The original Anaconda Plan did call for, in part, a blockade of Confederate ports on its east and southern coasts. The blockade's effectiveness is disputed by historians. Much of the South's in and out shipping was able to run past the blockade by cover of night. Also, as the coastlines were huge, there could not be a total 100% blockade. It did, however, stop many ships from sailing into Southern ports.
Two of the deadliest Confederate raiding ships, the CSS Alabama and the CSS Florida were built by the British and both were able to slip past the Union blockade of Mobile, Alabama. These raiders demolished a huge number of Union cargo ships. It was not unknown by the Union that the British were building these warships for the South, yet both of them were able to slip past Union blockade efforts.The other example is cited by US Grant in his memoirs of the war. He wrote that after his siege of Vicksburg caused it to surrender, he discovered 60,000 rifles in Vicksburg, and the best ones were made by the British. Clearly, the blockade was not as effective as many historians seem to have believed.

Blockade running was fairly successful during the US Civil War. These were primitive naval times for sea going vessels. At night, for example, stopping a blockade running vessel was almost impossible. Experts to this day dispute whether the Union's blockade was a significant factor in the combination of factors that led to the South's surrender. As far as the most profitable items that slipped past the blockade, these were luxury items such as perfumes or precious gems.
you just have to get away from the enemy as far as possible
