Somehow the thought of submarines operating during the Revolutionary War and the Civil War seems out of place for technology of the time.
The Hunley may have been the first to succeed in sinking a ship but it certainly wasn't the last. The crew of such vessels had to have been very brave. Thank you Tara.
We live in the Charleston area. The Hunley is being restored at Patriots Point. Awe inspiring.🇺🇸

Another story I had never heard of before!
Imagne that, a submarine way back in 1863!
Thank you, Tara!!
And it wasn't even the first! There was one in the Revolution, too. :) https://www.taraross.com/post/tdih-turtle-submarine
As always thanks for your well written account of our history.
WOW!
How did that happen?
