Friends of the Hunley

On this day in 1863, Horace Hunley scheduled a demonstration in Charleston Harbor of the underwater vessel he had been instrumental in building. He planned for his “fish boat” to dive beneath the CSS Indian Chief and surface on the other side. Instead, once the submarine disappeared beneath the waves, Hunley and the entire crew were never seen alive again. Learn more about this and how the Hunley went on to be recovered and become the world’s first successful combat submarine in 1864.
