In the spring of 1862, when the American Civil War was about a year old, Adela -- a fast, iron-hulled, sidewheel steamer which had been operating out of Belfast, Ireland, as a merchantman was purchased by some now unidentified agent who planned to use her for carrying arms and other contraband cargo through the Union blockade to the Confederacy. She steamed in ballast via Glasgow to Liverpool in May and toward the end of that month cleared the latter port, bound for the Bahamas where she planned to fill her holds with ordnance for the Confederate forces.
