"I would be very interested in a link to a website about the black crewman."

And here you are.....www.hunley.com

You will need to search through newsletter #34.

But, if you are impatient, here is a cut from the site:

"NOTE: We now know that the 5th crewman was Absolum Williams - the only Afro-American crewman to die associated with the Hunley. His name was never inscribed on the Hunley Memorial Monument at South Battery, White Point Gardens at the end of Meeting Street, Charleston, S.C."

Thanks, but that is not really evidence, just somebody asserting that a guy, whose name was not inscribed on a commemorative monument, was black.
