Agnes E. Fry was a US Confederate blockade runner built by the shipyard of Caird & Company in Greenock on the lower River Clyde in Scotland, and launched on 26 March 1864 under the name of "Fox". The paddle steamer had an iron hull, and was powered by two oscillating cylinder steam engines. The ship was under the command of Joseph Fry, who renamed it after his wife when he took command.{{cite web | last=McKenzie | first=Steven | title=North Carolina Civil War wreck could be Clyde-built ship | website=BBC News | date=15 April 2016 | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-36033056 | accessdate=15 April 2016}}
