Thread Name: The Confederate Sub 'Hunley', any info?
Subject: The Confederate Sub Hunley, any info?
Thanks to those who've made the "Curious Civil War Song" thread so interesting.

The HUNLEY. What an amazing (and eerie) story! Does anyone have any more info on it, or can you point me in a direction where I can find drawings, details etc.

The motivation of the crew must have been amazing. The TV news keeps referring to a "suicide" mission. Did the crew know that at the beginning? Were they REALLY all five foot two inches? Fascinating.

Thanks.

Rick
