After New Orleans fell in April 1862, blockade running in the Gulf shifted to Mobile, with Havana as the transfer point for cargoes moving to and from neutral ships. The Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864, closed the port.
The line follows the sea lanes between the two ports. It shows the water a ship had to cross, not the course a runner sailed.
