On February 17th, 1864, the H. L. Hunley became the first successful combat submarine in world history with the sinking of the USS Housatonic. Shortly after her successful mission, the H.L. Hunley would vanish and remained lost at sea until it was located in 1995. The Hunley would be raised in the summer of 2000. The Confederacy lost 21 crewmen in three different sinking’s of Hunley during her short career.
The H.L. Hunley is located in Charleston SC. It rests in the Warren Lasch Conservation Center, where an international team of scientists are at work to conserve the submarine for future generations and piece together clues to solve the mystery of her disappearance. Conservation is never ending. If you want to help support the conservation efforts please click the link below and Donate today!
