What a great way to honor the 150th anniversary of Civil War.

Looks like a modern sub.

Can’t wait for the Lincoln Coven to show up and trash this thread.

Fascinating article. Thx for the thread!
LS, if you get a chance, check out the comment section after the article. A poster mentions a certain video we've been discussing.

They raised the sub, eh? I guess "THE CONFEDERESEH WILL RISE AGAIN, SUH!"

There are theories the sub could have been damaged by fire from the Housatonic or the crew was knocked out from the concussion from the blast. Another theory is the sub was struck by another Union vessel coming to help the Housatonic. Barry Soetoro blamed it on George Bush.

I am surprised they did not find steel balls at the bottom of that sub, because that is what it took to get into that coffin. Steel balls.
By the way I wish they had removed that PVC pipe from the interior before they took the pictures.

This is fascinating, thanks for the post. It is interesting how rapidly military technology started to evolve starting from that time to the present.

Of course, there was a snide, uniformed comment:
it's so cute to see the American War Machine in its infancy.
Never mind that the European "war machine" was well established...

Hard to imagine eight men working in that sub.

I wish it were possible for all of our mis-guided youth to spend a night and a day in the shoes of the men that fought for freedom during the Civil War, just to remind them what it was all about back then instead of living their lives like a bunch of snide internet forum commentators.
I had a book or two several years ago about the history of the Confederate Submarine service.
Perhaps we really do need the UK to bring the reality of the past to our attention seeing fit most everyone only wants to forget it or sugar coat and cut,copy and paste a more pastel coloring.
No apology to our real warriors, at least they know how to piss downwind.
