CHILDREN of the CONFEDERACY
C. S. S. Florida
The cruiser Florida, during her two years of operations
against United States
commerce, was one of the two most profitable military
investments made by the Confederacy. She and her sister ship, Alabama, appear to
have done more damage to the United States in proportion to their cost than any
other major activity undertaken by the Confederacy.
The Florida, and the ships she outfitted, accounted for
$4,051,000 worth of commerce. She and her tenders captured a total of 60 prizes,
of which 46 were burned, 13 bonded, and 1 recaptured. The Florida herself
captured 38 of these. The ship cost the South $400,000 to build and operate.
Therefore, the Florida destroyed ships worth ten times her own cost. In
addition, the cost to the United States in operating ships to search for the
cruisers has been tentatively set at $3,325,000, a figure several times greater
than the cost of all Confederate cruisers.
On the morning of November 28, 1864, the Florida sank in nine
fathoms of water at Hampton Roads, Virginia due to taking on water from a
previous ramming by the Federal Steamer, Wachusett.
On July 1, 1988, a charter was issued to C. S. S. Florida
Chapter No. 841, Children of the Confederacy, Jacksonville Beach, Florida as
auxiliary to Mattie T. Wright Chapter No. 2533.
