During the first nine months of the US Civil War, the Union's blockade of Southern ports was not successful. In the year ending in 1861, nine out of ten ships eluded the Union's efforts. One reason was that the Northern navy simply needed more ships. Union shipyards were busy trying to fix that problem. Union shipyards had the great advantage of being geographically safe from harm. The Rebel army was just too far away.
