How about we recreate the Hundley, and do a Naval Reenactment?

Or how about the totally unknown predecessor of the Hundley that was built in New Orleans?

"The Humpty" ??

1861
Early in the Civil War, the Confederate Government authorized citizens to operate armed warships as "privateers." A New Orleans consortium headed by cotton broker HORACE L. HUNLEY was approved for the operation of "Pioneer," a 20-foot long three-man submarine (one to steer, two to crank the propeller) designed and built by JAMES MCCLINTOCK .

In a March 1862 demonstration on Lake Pontchartrain, a submerged "Pioneer" sank a barge with a towed floating torpedo. In April, 1862, the U. S. Navy captured New Orleans, and "Pioneer" was scuttled by its builders. Soon discovered, the boat eventually was sold for scrap in 1868.

The age of exploration is not over yet.

It's interesting that you could build exploratory craft in your back yard then, but you needed resources. That is still true today.

That's in front of one of the museums next to St. Louis Cathedral. I saw it a lot growing up. I knew it was a submarine, but I never knew its significance.

They also have one of Napoleon's death masks, among other odd treasures...
