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.
