Please forgive. After 1861 with Federal ships blockading Confederate ports, ships weren't entering Chespeake Bay with slaves; any ships running the blockade were carrying war supplies, armaments, munitions and carrying out cotton, tobacco and any other products with which the Confederacy paid for its imports. And they were tending to go into Charleston SC or further south. Those 400 years would take it back to what, 1461? a bit before Cristoforo Colombo hit the western hemisphere. Pu-lease, no one beat up on me for this and let's drop it here. Unless I've made an historical mistake. Which could be.
