Hunley May Reveal Secrets in Year's Time
By BRUCE SMITH, Associated Press Writer
Tuesday, November 21, 2006 05 14 PM
(11-21) 17:14 PST NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) --

In a year's time, scientists hope to solve the mystery of why the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley sank, the chairman of the South Carolina Hunley Commission said Tuesday.

The hand-cranked Hunley sank the Union blockade ship Housatonic in 1864, becoming the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship.

It was found 11 years ago and raised in 2000 from the Atlantic and is in a conservation lab. But the vessel has been slow revealing its secrets.

There are generally two theories why it sank shortly after sending the Housatonic to the bottom. One is that it was damaged and took on water after the attack. The other is that the crew suffocated when they ran out of air. . . . . . .

I met John Gray a few years ago just after he finished directing the movie "The Hunley"
I have my own theory as to why she sank.
I have studied "Infernal Devices" for many years..the Hunley among them
She was not the first CW Iron Sub,,the Federals tried them also without luck.

Great story and very Brave Men!!

Thanks for the update.
