Blockade runners were ships that attempted to evade naval blockades during conflicts, particularly the American Civil War. Their primary role was to transport goods, supplies, and sometimes troops between blockaded ports and other locations, often using speed and stealth to evade capture. These vessels played a crucial role in supplying the Confederate states, as they sought to circumvent the Union blockade that aimed to restrict trade and resources. The success of blockade runners varied, but they significantly impacted the logistics and economics of the war effort.
