The Hunley

Climb into the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley on the fateful night it became the first sub to destroy an enemy vessel; the Union warship Housatonic. Its crew of eight perished in the process and the submarine vanished mysteriously. Recovered in 2000, the shipwrecked Hunley sparked renewed interest in its innovative design and tragic fate. Despite its pioneering role in naval warfare, questions linger about its final moments. The Hunley stands as a testament to the ingenuity and sacrifices of those who dared to push the boundaries of technology during the tumultuous era of the American Civil War.
