The Union's blockade of Southern ports was successful to a point, but it was porous. On June 10, 1861 just below New Orleans, the CSS Sumter under the command of Captain Raphael Semmes, ran the Union blockade and began his career as a raider of Union cargo ships.

What naval successes did the Union have in 1861?
It wasn't their best year by far. The so called blockade was mostly ineffectual in 1861. The US now Union navy was small and far flung at the start of the war. It was also hampered by the defection of significant numbers of personnel to the South. As usual the Union bent its massively superior resources to the establishment of a sizeable navy able to enforce the blockade and prosecute the war on the High Sea's and more importantly in the riverine theatres of the West. One of the most significant setbacks of the war for the South was the loss of New Orleans to a naval assault, one of the few sizeable population centres located in the Confederacy and the most important port in the South. However this happened I believe in 1862 by which time the Union had really got their act together. Yee Haa
