"FLORIDA"
"Confederate War-Steamer"
19th Century lithograph, purporting to represent CSS Florida
(1862-1864).
This image bears no real resemblance to that ship: Florida
had two smokestacks, not one as shown here; a battery that included
pivot guns, not an exclusively broadside armament; and a bark
rig, not that of a ship; among other differences from the vessel
seen in this print.
Collection of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1936.
U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph.
