Acting Master Irvine S. Bulloch, Confederate States Navy,
(in service, 1861-1865)
Irvine S. Bulloch was born in Georgia and entered the Confederate
States Navy from that state in August 1861 as an Acting Midshipman.
He served initially in CSS Savannah, then went to sea for
a cruise in Nashville
in 1861-62. Next posted to CSS Nansemond
in the James River area, he was sent abroad in mid-1862. Joining
CSS Alabama
in the Azores, he soon earned promotion to Acting Master and served
as the ship's Sailing Master during her long cruise against Federal
shipping. Following Alabama's loss in the 19
June 1864 battle with USS Kearsarge, Bulloch was assigned
to CSS Shenandoah and served in her to the end of her career
in late 1865. Following the Civil War, he lived in Liverpool,
England, where he worked as a cotton-broker.
