| Info | Stephen R Mallory was born on the island of Trinidad, West Indies. In 1820 he emigrated with his parents to Key West, Florida. He was educated at Nazareth Hall Military Academy in Nazareth, Pennsylvania and at the Jesuit College at Springhill, Mobile, Alabama.
President Jefferson Davis appointed him Secretary of the Confederate Navy on March 4, 1861.
Mallory found himself with the difficult task of creating a navy from nothing. He did so untiringly. Records of the commerce raiders C.S.S. Alabama, C.S.S. Florida, and C.S.S. Shenandoah along with the Confederate Torpedo Bureau which built torpedoes, floating mines, and the "legendary H. L. Hunley, stands as testimony to his dedication, ability and skillful management.
After the fall of Richmond, Mallory accompanied President Davis and other cabinet members as they fled. The group disbanded in Washington, Georgia on May 5, 1865. Mallory traveled to La Grange, Georgia, where his family was residing. He was arrested there on May 20, 1865, and held prisoner for ten months at Fort Lafayette, a small island in New York Harbor. Mallory moved to Pensacola, Florida after his release.
Mallory practiced law until his death on November 9, 1873.
