I am surprised that the Hunley isn't viewed as a sailor's grave and preserved intact where she lay for the last century and a half. I think that we could build a model that was equal to the task of being a museum and leave the ship where it is.

I've built too many boats in my life not believe that ships have hearts and souls. Maybe those of the men who sailed them, but souls none the less and when they are gone, let them rest.
