The Planter's wharf is the stolen — the '3:30 a.m.' that's the guard fooled, the 'captain's hat' that's the disguise wore. The 'Sumter passed' is the threaded — the 'five forts' that's the gauntlet run, the 'correct signals' that's the codes gave. The 'family aboard' is the risked — the 'Hannah + three' that's the stakes carried, the 'six crew' that's the plan shared.
The 'ten miles' is the short — the 'wharf to blockade' that's the distance measured, the 'eternity' that's the danger felt. The 'white flag raised' is the timed — the 'palmetto dropped' that's the colors switched, the 'Yankee ship' that's the delivery made. The Planter's is the boldest — the 'slave stole ship' that's the headline wrote, the 'congressman' that's the arc completed.
The file keeps the Planter: the captain's hat, the five forts, the family aboard, and the flag switched.
The Planter site is the archive's South Carolina file — where a slave stole a warship with his family aboard.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Planter site is the archive's South Carolina file — the wharf where Smalls stole the Confederacy's ship.
A wharf keeps its theft — the file's suggestion being that the Planter's hold is the audacious: the 'captain's hat' that's the disguise worn, the 'Sumter passed' that's the guns outfaced, and the 'family aboard' that's the everything risked.
