An exchange of wounded prisoners takes place off Fort Wagner in Charleston Harbor under a flag of truce

The exchange of wounded prisoners took place at a harbor buoy near Fort Wagner in Charleston Harbor.  The Confederate vessel Alice appeared with a flag of truce and was met by the hospital ship U.S.S. Cosmopolitan. All firing between the forts and the ship ceased for the rest of the day as both sides watched the transfer.  (By John Osborne)

U.S. Navy intercepts and destroys Confederate blockade-runner crossing the bar in Charleston Harbor

Around midnight, the Union monitor U.S.S. Catskill, with Commander George Washington Rodgers in command, intercepted a large, side-wheeler blocade runner heading into Charleston Harbor.  Under the guns of Fort Sumter, the Catskill opened fire and the target ran aground near Sullivan's Island and caught fire.  Rodgers would be killed in action a month later in the August 17 bombardment of the Charleston Harbor forts.  (By John Osborne)
