The CSS Hunley, American Submarine

H. L. Hunley was a submarine of the American Confederate States. H. L. Hunley, almost 40 feet long, was built at Mobile, Alabama, launched in July 1863, and shipped by rail to Charleston, SC on August 12, 1863. On February 17, 1864, while on patrol sank a enemy ship in the Charleston Harbor.
The pictures of the "Hunley" on my video were purchased at the museum
site because no photography is allowed during the tour of the "Hunley" itself.

HardyRoundtee, I am glad that you monitor the comments on this great vdeo. Otherwise it surely devolve into just another shouting match full of insults and vulgarities over slavery and our Southern states

[HardyRoundtree]

@63gstone Thank you... It's not allowed here.

I have told people if you want to bash American troops go start your own site.

Great video! i was there when they gave the official funeral for the brave men of the C.S.S. Hunley,

[HardyRoundtree]

The last burial of the Civil War from the battlefield to the cemetery. That is extremely impressive. I would have loved to have attended, however things in my life prevented me.

@VictorianRecords Gen US Grant's inlaws were rich slave traders.There was more than just slavery issues .Everbody has to bring it up though,which is basicaly pointless now.It has been said countless times ,I think everyone gets the message,it has been a done ordeal since 1865..Mentioning slavery in every civil war era vid is just hammering out the same predictable redundancy..Slavery has harmed the US no doubt,and it was a big trade in the New England "Colonies'' before it went South............

@josephonwhidbey Abe Lincoln father was a small time slave owner, his wife family (who abe prefered over his own) were big time slavers. Lincoln was a whig (pre republican party which combined whigs, free soilers into the GOP), he wanted an end to slavery like most free soilers but because big business of slavery was hurting the small time farmers (like those he grew up with in Kentucky). Lincoln even said if Kentucky went confederate he might as well consent to the seperation of the nation.
