Irvine S. Bulloch was born in Georgia and entered the Confederate States Navy from that state in August 1861 as an Acting Midshipman. He served initially in CSS Savannah, then went to sea for a cruise in Nashville in 1861-62. Next posted to CSS Nansemond in the James River area, he was sent abroad in mid-1862. Joining CSS Alabama in the Azores, he soon earned promotion to Acting Master and served as the ship's Sailing Master during her long cruise against Federal shipping. Following Alabama's loss in the 19 June 1864 battle with USS Kearsarge, Bulloch was assigned to CSS Shenandoah and served in her to the end of her career in late 1865. Following the Civil War, he lived in Liverpool, England, where he worked as a cotton-broker.
