Some More on the James D. Bulloch Plaque in Liverpool, UK-- Part 3

From the 10-21 entry.

The Charleston House in Liverpool was also called the "Confederate Embassy."

The Bulloch House is at Number 10 Rumford Place. Plaques above these buildings have portraits of Jefferson Davis, James Bulloch and Raphael Semmes.

The Fraser Trenholm office is at the Alabama House which is also located by the other two. Fraser Trenholm owned a large fleet of blockade-runners.

During the war years, many Confederate Naval officers entered these houses, including John Newland Maffitt, James Iredel Waddell and John Wilkinson.

Quite the little hotbed of the Confederacy abroad.

So, you can visit Liverpool and get you Reb on as well as your Beatles.
