Log book of the C.S.S. Florida, a Confederate steamer stationed near Mobile, Ala., from February to July 1862, kept by Thomas Longworth Moore (died 1922) of North Carolina, one of the ship's officers. The volume records weather, supplies, and important incidents. Also included are extensive notes on seamanship and lists of the ship's officers in 1862 and January 1863. This ship, also known as the Selma, is not to be confused with the more famous Confederate cruiser Florida.
