Spoiler-
The C.S.S Hunley was successful in that it sank the U.S.S Housatonic
-
21 crewmen died over the course of Hunley’s short career.
-
She operated by pure man power and raw muscle.
-
Her propeller was turned by a central crank shaft and handles where the crew would sit.
-
She sank three times in all and the first two times, she was merely hauled back to the surface and tried again.
-
The Hunley was 40 feet in length and very tightly cramped
-
It is suspected that the crew (on their mission) died by carbon dioxide poisoning, or a possible leak that sank it immediately as they tried to submerge.
-
Commander General P.T.G. was in charge of the mission to sink the Housatonic.
-
She was privately built in 1863 by Park and Lyons in Mobile, Alabama.
-
She was funded by Horace Lawson Hunley, who she was named after.
-
Horace Lawson Hunley then died in the second sinking of the Hunley.
-
On May 3rd 1995 they located the Hunley in 27 feet of water off the coast of Charleston.
This was fun to research ngl
BEWARE THE FLOATING DEATH TRAPPPP!!!
AHAHAHAHA
