Confederate submarine made history 150 years ago | Fox News

CHARLESTON, S.C. – On a clear, moonlight night 150 years ago, the hand-cranked Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley glided out over glassy seas off South Carolina, sailing into history as the first submarine ever to sink an enemy warship.
A century and a half later -- and nearly a decade and a half after the sub was raised -- just why the Hunley and its eight-man crew never returned is a mystery, albeit one that scientists may be closer to resolving.

Interesting article about the Hunley today. Anyone been up to see this yet?
