Thanks,
They actually hit Star of the West with one of the rounds fired at her. She was unarmed.
It would have made no difference if warships accompanied Lincoln’s chartered supply ship or not. Davis was not going to allow Sumter to be resupplied under any circumstance.

Star of the West.

She was sent by Buchanan not Lincoln.
