Submarine Torpedo Boat H. L. Hunley

Description

Learn about the Recovered Confederate Submarine on September 24^th
 
The Confederate H. L. Hunley was the first submarine to sink a warship, on February 17, 1864 – although she was lost in the process, along with her crew. Earlier tests of the Hunley saw the losses of more crew members, and in total she caused 21 Confederate deaths. The Hunley was raised from Charleston Harbor in 2000, and is now on view in North Charleston, SC. Learn more about the Hunley when retired Navy Chief Ron Day speaks at the next North Country Civil War Round Table on Sunday, September 24^th, 2 p.m. at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association.
