crpdst2003 is correct. The beginning photo is wrong. That's a photo of General Winfield Scott Hancock, who was named after General Winfield Scott. It was General Scott who advanced the idea of a blockade.
A well made documentary of the history of "CSS. H.L. HUNLEY" Was there any evidence of damage to the bow of the sub, due to the impact of the harpoon hitting the hull of the "USS. HOUSATONIC" causing the sub to flood? Or was it a lack of oxygen. There may be 1 hour of oxygen for all the crew but take in mind the only light they had were candles. Using those would use up at least 30% of oxygen in less time. And tha crew hand cranking the prop, they would use up more. A sad end to an heroic act.
Great vid. Thanks!

You are right. The correct picture of General Scott can be found by searching "Anaconda Plan" on Google.

An exceptionally fine production in all respects. I can only imagine all the work that went into making this video.

You need to go to the "Friends of the Hunley" website to see the recovered sub and perhaps answer some of your questions.
