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.

A remarkable journey of discovery began 22 years ago today. The Hunley was raised from the ocean floor on August 8th, 2000, and the world watched this historic event. Since then a groundbreaking excavation effort unearthed fascinating artifacts from the 19th century, the crew was buried, and scientific developments have emerged from the research taking place on the legendary submarine.
