Last time I was in Charleston, I went to see her. It was incredible to gaze upon the actual Hunley, which I have read about since childhood.

Weren't three crews killed aboard Hunley? And no lack of volunteers? Brave men.

Not only that, the Confederate press didn't say they should give up and quit after the sub went down the first time.

If the picture in #9 is truly what it looked like, my admiration for the men just took a huge leap forward. I've been down in the sub anchored over in Mobile, I can't image being in the Hunley.

"I've been down in the sub anchored over in Mobile, I can't image being in the Hunley." That's the USS Drum. I spent two years on one like that in the early 60's...back when there were 'real' sub sailors, lol.
BTW, at least two crews of nine people died on trial runs of the Hunley...some say there is an early prototype still out in Mobile Bay somewhere.

I went on a sub in Wilmington NC. Even on that one I couldn't imagine the life, let alone the Hunley. These were brave men
