History: She was ordered for Glasgow-Sligo service but sold clandestinely before completion in 1863 to Henry Lafone, Liverpool on behalf Confederate Government Treasury Dept. for the Confederate Navy. She was used as supply ship to CSS Shenandoah, when she carried armaments and crew for commissioning of Shenandoah at Islas Desertas, Madeira on 18–20 October 1864.
