Where is the relic now?
I’ve visited the Hunley several times, but not since she’s been upright and so clean. She looks magnificent.
It was a solid step in the evolution of the submarine. It would take a little longer for the powerplant to catch up to the rest of the design.

Right now I am reading a book called Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, by Eric Larson. It's the story of the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 and of the German U-boat that sank her. In a section about the history of submarines, Larson talks about the Hunley.
A few pics and video of the restoration process.

I’d be surprised is Nikki “Finger-in-the-Wind” Haley doesn’t order it removed from the state on the basis of it being a hate-filled relic.
Wow.
Wonder if anyone’s considered making an exact working replica now that the original is visible again.
I feel oppressed and triggered by the sight of this racist sub.
Jules Verne...
The author Clive Cussler was responsible for finding the Hunley.
...Hunley ping....
Thanks, p.
How soon will the Hunley be called a “Symbol of racism” and demands be to remove it from public view?
That’s actually a pretty sophisticated ducted prop. Quite interesting.
Wow, the things they could do 150 years ago. Just very cool.
