>>>> Seriously, are there any documentaries about the
Hunley?
As far as I know, the first “documentary” about the Hunley was an episode of the CBS series “The Great Adventure”. A show that took incidents of American history and portrayed them as accurately as they could for the time.
Original Air Date:
27 September 1963 (Season 1, Episode 1)
Jackie Cooper ... Lt. Dickson
James MacArthur ... Lt. Alexander

You are correct, sir! I didn’t bother to search, I was just drawing from my memory. I learned more US history from that show than I did from elementary school.
