Bermuda 2000 - Nola

The Nola was an English paddle wheel steamer which served as a Confederate blockade runner during the American Civil War.  She was 236 feet long with a 25 foot beam and displaced 750 tons.  The Nola was powered by twin oscillating engines.  On route to Bermuda to pick up coal, the Nola hit a reef and sank in late December 1863.
