Snagged on rock and sprang a leak??
Allow me to summarize: We don’t know.
I thought the only way it could sink a ship was to ram a lance into the side of it. Having done that, the vessel was unable to back up and remove the lance from the sinking ship and it went down with it, or am I thinking of another sub?
So they finally figured out how the cloaking device worked?
What was the air source underwater for the men of the Hunley?
It is kinda strange that this is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the 600th anniversary of the Magna Chart and not a peep form our institutes of history.

It's Bush's fault....
George Bush sank the Hunley!!!!
the hunley saw that we were going to cause global warming in the next 160 years, and committed suicide.
Given the bones of the crew were found at their seats and not piled up by the hatch it is speculated the crew asphyxiated. she backed off and, after the explosion, they were to row back but it was against the tide and everyone was tired from rowing out so she drifted and everyone just fell asleep. Housatonic bottomed out with much of the rigging above sea leval and later declared a hazaed to navigation and blown up. I have been to Hunley and the Confederate cemetery where the remains of 3 crews are buried
I used to have the t-shirt:
“Celebrate the History,
Solve the Mystery,
Raise the Hunley!”
It’s too early to talk about it yet. First, we need to raise some more money.
