Organized during the summer of 1863, the company formed a partnership with the English firm of Henry Lafone forming a fleet of six blockade runners along with the ship Storm King to operate between England and the South.

Benjamin Butler’s efforts did later result in compensation by the Federals. A choice and historic blockade running certificate. Folds. Uncancelled and Fine
