Mystery ship reappears at Fort Morgan after Tropical Storm Ida (with photo gallery) | Breaking News from the Press-Register - al.com: "FORT MORGAN, Ala. -- For years, storms along the Baldwin coast have often exposed the wreckage of a sailing ship that locals suspected was a Civil War blockade runner or a Prohibition-era rum runner or various vessels in between.

When Tropical Storm Ida struck Nov. 10, the charred wooden hull reappeared on the beach six miles east of Fort Morgan.

The wreck is most likely to be the three-masted schooner Rachel, which ran aground on the peninsula in the first half of the 1900s, according to Mike Bailey, Fort Morgan events coordinator."
