Shipwreck of the Run'her

==History==
The ''Run'her'' was constructed in England in 1863, in the shipyard of J & W Dudgeon, on the Isle of Dogs, London for the Confederate States. It was in length, wide, with a depth of and draft.〔 In the context of the American Civil War (1861-1865), the ''Run'her'' was part of a fleet of blockade-runners, that carried equipment and laid naval mines.〔
The ship was one in a series of ships built for William G. Crenshaw Co., a joint British-Confederate business, constructed to meet a Confederate contract to carry military, medical and other equipment, in addition to goods for the Confederacy.〔 This because the Confederacy had a chronic lack of foreign credit, and the Confederate government was obliged to establish contracts to acquire the ships with six British naval shipyards using the latest technology, in trade for the shipment of cotton. It was only after payment amortization that the debit for the construction would be paid, and the ships become the property of the southern States.〔
