The Hunley’s air circulation system didn’t work or was disconnected the night she and her eight-man crew vanished in 1864. The finding suggests difficulty getting oxygen inside crew compartment.

Scientists are at work to preserve the Hunley and remove the concretion (a rock-hard layer of sand, rust, sediment and silt) that covers the inside of the crew compartment.

21 years ago today the Hunley was raised from the ocean floor after being lost at sea for over a century. Since then, a remarkable voyage of discovery has taken place. Take a quick look here to see how the submarine was raised and some of the treasures that were found within it!
