But is it the same ship? Is there a name somewhere on it? Did all the blockade runners look the same? There’s nothing there but the outline of a shell of a ship. Nothing in the middle but sand. I’ve seen several different pictures of blockade runners.

The ship in the picture is ,The Advance
This was from the comments section :
I'm afraid that the DM has not researched this story....
this ship has been uncovered a number of times, as recently as 2008, by hurricanes.
In 2008, historians discovered that parts of the ship were from post Civil War. In fact, the ship was built in 1919 and was called 'The Rachel.'.
She sank during a storm around 1930, while carrying a load of lumber.
The ship was looted of it's cargo and set afire. What is left is the skeleton that will once again be covered by sand and surf until the next hurricane.
