The first ship ordered by Bulloch within days of his arrival inLiverpool would become the CSS Florida. Constructed by Miller &Company, with engines by Fawcett, Preston & Company the Florida wasplanned by Bulloch and Miller based on existing plans of one of Her Majesty\'sgunboats. The plans were modified to make the ship faster and have a greatercapacity. This meant the ship could spend longer at sea avoiding therestrictions that wartime imposed on British ports. The contract was betweenBulloch and the shipbuilders, at no time was the end use discussed, but itwould have been obvious that the ship would see service in the ConfederateNavy. To hide the identity of the ship it was given the name Oreto andlater Manassas.

Laid down in June 1861, the Confederacy\'s first foreign-built commerceraider departed Liverpool on March 22, 1862. The Florida can be distinguishedfrom the Alabama by its twin funnels and her rakish masts.
