Ordinary cargo ships carried war goods from England to Bermuda, where they were loaded onto blockade runners, and carried cotton back to England. Most Confederate arms shipments left from Liverpool. The trade on Bermuda was based at St. George's.

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.
