Thank you. Probably everyone has already heard the story about the Hunley. I imagine it was big news when it was discovered, and then years later when it was raised, then again during the funeral for the crew....but, somehow, I missed it. Until I posted the profile of SC that dixie sass and visualops did a few months ago and then our trip there last month, I had never heard of the Hunley.

Since the Finest thread is about honoring the Finest among us, past and present, I thought it was fitting to post a tribute to these brave sailors. I'm glad you enjoyed this little piece of history. :-)
