Cefltf* Rood, 9 - \ JN, Thursday, May 2, 1985 AAaintenarx BY SUSAN USHER It's something local boaters have been waiting for with great impatience?and great anticipated pleasure. Maintenance dredging of I x>ckwood's Folly Inlet began Tuesday and will continue an estimated two months at a cost of about J180.000, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District Office. When dredging is completed, the channel will follow a slightly altered alignment, said Robert Sattin, chief of the Corps' plant section. "The ocean channel will be straighter than it was previously. It had curved to the west. It will still have a little bit of curve to the west." The Corps lias proceeded with caution, taking care not to disturb three Civil War shipwrecks in the inlet, said Richard Kimmel, who was in charge of the archeological survey. In its more eastern alignment, Kimmel said the new channel will lie between the wrecks of the "Iron Age" and the "Elizabeth." In 1982, the channel was dredged between the wrecks of the "Iron Age ana a inira vessel, me uendigo." The "Currituck," constructed specifically to dredge shallow draft channels such as I,ockwood's Folly and Carolina Beach inlets, will deepen the channel connecting the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean to an approved depth of f I Yfehth gj| 1 Your Tot a FIoot^S=e iades | V* last! ]y )9S 7 6 Mos. ?

"Up to Bouy 10 there seem3 to be plenty of water," he said. Sattin said the Wilmington District takes a different approach from some districts in its dredging operations?a difference evident in plans for Ix>ckwood Folly Inlet. "We try to work with Mother Nature, to put the channel where the deepest water is," he said, following its natural alignment rather than forcing a channel across the shortest distance between two points. "When you do that," he explained, "you end up closing up what you have opened. "This way you get a deeper channet aiiCi it stays open longer. We seem to be aoing a little better this way." Kimmel said the "Currituck" will avoid the wreck of the "Elizabeth," staying 150 to 200 feet from its center. A steam-powered wooden-hull vessel, the blockade runner "?)!izsbcth" wss 2 converted (]olf coast steamer once called the "Atlantic." It was stranded and burned at 1-ockwood's Folly Inlet Sept. 24, 1863, according to David Stick's "Graveyard of the Atlantic," supposedly through the activities of a Federal spy who was later found to have been on board. The "Iron Age" was the only Federal vessel recorded as lost in the Union's blockading activities.
