Office of Archives and History in the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources

A silver-plated spoon inscribed with “J Skerritt” discovered by the divers was critical to establishing the identity of the wreck.  The volunteer divers knew that the Appomattox crew was on loan from the Confederate ironclad Virginia.  Upon searching the Virginia’s crew list, reference was found to sailor James Skerritt.
