Lundy Charters Participates in Civil War Re-enactment

Recounting 300 years of New Bern history would be remiss without acknowledgement of one of the city’s most devastating days — the Civil War Battle of New Bern in March 1862. The Union victory at the battleground east of town left New Bern under occupation for the remainder of the war and affected lives on both sides, black and white. The New Bern 300th Committee’s “Remembering the War” this week spans four days, Thursday through Sunday, and covers aspects of the battle and its aftermath. The feature event will be the most ambitious local Civil War re-enactment ever — a naval and artillery battle at Union Point Park on Saturday featuring more than 200 re-enactors. Lundy Charters staff provided our 72ft vessel the Jeanie B. to participate in this historic re-enactment.
