CSS Florida (1862-1864)
Oil painting, probably depicting her arrival in the Bahamas in
1862. She had been purchased secretly in England and sent to
the Bahamas for fitting out as a warship. This may explain the
absence of visible armament on the ship.
Courtesy of Miss Grace Tully, formerly private secretary to President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who gave her this painting.
