Virtual: H.L. Hunley - Civil War Submarine
Tuesday, February 227:00—8:00 PMZoomIndian Valley Public Library100 E. Church Ave, Telford, PA, 18969
On Feb. 17, 1864, the Confederate Sub H. L. Hunley left the Charleston, SC, harbor and sank a blockading Union warship. Soon after sending the USS Housatonic to the bottom, the submarine also sank.
The sunken sub’s location was a mystery until 1995, when a team of divers sponsored by writer Clive Cussler discovered the nearly-intact Hunley. It was raised and carefully excavated. The skeletons of all eight crew members were removed, studied, and reburied.
Join historical reenactor, lecturer and tour guide Michael Jesberger for a presentation on this incredible story of the American Civil War and Naval history.
