WE NEED YOU TO HELP SAVE THE HUNLEY!

The Hunley became the world’s first successful combat submarine in 1864 and then mysteriously vanished.  She was located in 1995 by New York Times best selling author Clive Cussler and was raised from the ocean floor in 2000.  The Hunley was not only an important relic in Naval history but was also a time capsule holding a wide array of fascinating artifacts from the 19^th century.  We are working to save the Hunley, the artifacts found within and build a submarine naval museum where our nation’s story under the waves can be told for generations to come.

Standard Membership packages include: Annual subscription to The Blue Light Magazine, Discounted Tour Tickets, 10% Off Merchandise, Entrance to Annual Behind-the-Scenes Members-Only Tours, 1 Car Decal, and 1 Member Hat.

Will You Help Save the Hunley?

In 1995 Clive Cussler located the legendary submarine just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. In 2000, the Hunley was successfully raised and in 2001 an international team of scientists began the process of carefully excavating her contents at a high-tech laboratory facility in North Charleston. To complete this historic journey, we must depend on donations from those who care about history. Will you help?
