- After my Train Odyssey 4, one of the museums I visited was the H.L. Hunley museum at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in North Charleston, South Carolina.
In this video of that visit, I allow the camera to dwell for a long time on fairly static images in order to allow the voice of the docent be heard as he describes various aspects of the Hunley and her history. - Навчання та стиль
Was at a reunion of my Sub, USS Mariano G Vallejo in Charleston and got to tour the lab right about the time it was open to the public. Our crew got a private tour of the lab and got to see the Hunley up close and personal while it was still having the concretions removed. It was a remarkable visit. I also remember the funeral for the crew at Magnolia Cemetery with all attending in period garb. Ladies in all black hoop dresses. Charleston is an amazing city with a great respect for its history, having been founded in 1670.
Having been stationed in Charleston during my Navy enlistment in the '60's we must have passed right over the Hunley many times without even knowing she was there.
Me too !
Rachel Lance is a biomedical engineer and blast-injury specialist who did her doctoral thesis by conducting explosive tests with a scale model of the Hunley and taking pressure measurements inside the scale submarine. Her conclusion was that the entire crew suffered mortal injuries and possibly died instantaneously from pressure waves from the explosion that resonated through the hull into the air space inside the sub. Her book is a detailed journal of her experiments and research and encompasses a lot of historical details about use of torpedoes and early submarines and the means of production of gunpowder in the day. There are discussions about blast injuries as well. The book is called IN THE WAVES.
Thanks to Clive Cussler for the Hunley being found. He doesn't get enough credit in my book. He's a great Author as well.
I’m fairly sure Dr Cussler is well-recognized for his role in discovering Hunly’s final resting place….
It’s in his bio in the back of every book he wrote (well, maybe post-2001 anyway) and those other two clowns that tried to continue the NUMA books after the hood Dr
retired from writing. (My opinion)
I had the opportunity to correspond with Dr Cussler before his death about his love of classic dive watches, including D. Pitt’s famous Doxa Sub300. He was VERY well spoken/read (of course) and a delight to speak with.
He didn't discover it though. It was first discovered and the location recorded in 1970 by diver E. Lee Spence. The discovery and location was published and well known to NUMA and Cussler in 1995. In 1978 the Hunley was placed in the National Register. This could not have happened unless the actual location was known. Spence won an admiralty suit in 1981 awarding him ownership of the wreck. NUMA and Cussler should only be credited for leading the documentation and recovery of the wreck.
What is the name of your book?
FANTASIC !!!! 😀😀😀
Thanks for filming and sharing this video !!!

Yeah good try, but you need lots more drill( practice ) yeah I could’ve done better! I know a 6 year old little girl my buddy’s daughter, who could done a much clearer job w a phone camera video! 😅 be advised , not offended, learn to improve, for the future. Or get some help.
thank's for posting - didn't know she was still being treated in solution, nearly 20 years after recovery
I think that everyone should brush up with their history
I really enjoyed the tour and you done a fine job filming.
My nephew was one of the first to measure the interior of the ship. He used laser beam and computer.
The Hunley was a modern marvel back in the time.
Thanks.
Some marvel. It was a death trap.
If you believe this video filming is a fine job, you’re missing out on good work,
My Husband and I were there when the raised the Hunley out of the water to take it to be cleaned. We went back and was there when the museum was opened. What a great experience.
Thank you for this! Been following the story about the Huntley since 2000 from halfway around the world, and your video is what I have been waiting for. It’s the next best thing, before one day I visit her in person. Again, thank you!
I love the videos. It gives me a chance to see places I will not get to see, and learn about events that happened. Keep the videos coming.
That’s why I watch because I can’t see all these historical things I did see and touch her they just brought her out of the water when I seen her Them men was very brave
Thankyou for your presentation.. Appreciated
Thanks very much Paul! I’ve been interested in seeing the Hunley since I first read about it in American Heritage magazine back in the early 1970s. I was in Charleston in the 1980’s and saw the Hunley replica in front of the city of Charleston museum. So, this video was a real treat! Now that they’ve brought the actual Hunley itself up from the seabed I’ve reprioritized a trip Charleston up a few notches in my bucket list of travels.
Thanks for posting this for those of us who may never get to visit the site. A very interesting site and preservation process. Thank you again!
Thanks Pail for doing all of these wonderful museum videos! I work in defense (medically unable to be in the military) and find the history fascinating.
This is very interesting, it would certainly be worth a road trip 👍
Thanks a ton for posting. I watched the raising of the Hunley Doc and was super interested in seeing it like this. I'm in Chesapeake Va and may take a trip down to see it for myself one of these days. Thumbs up. Great video. Keep em coming.
My great grand father Michael Hines a blacksmith from France made the Huntley and two others first and they were called the Franchmen's boat Moblie Al. for the CSA.

Thanks for sharing this very important information.
First time I've saw her since she was raised...thanks for the video.
You probably didn't see her BEFORE she was raised, either.
Thanks so much for the wonderful video- this is as close as I can get to visiting for the time being. Bravo and well done.
This is just amazing history, absolutely incredible history.
This is to anyone that clicks "Thumbs down". You are a small minded and ignorant person. Not to mention an immature, contemptible failure of your parents.
Thank you for posting this. It held my attention for the full 47 minutes.
Nice video, I knew of this vessel. Nice to actually see it and learn about it. Thank You for presenting this.
first guy "up!"
then everyone "UP!.. UP!.. UP!"
frantic cranking ensues while everyone continues shouting "UP!"
The battle flag of the confederacy , stone Mountain Georgia, the statues of the Confederate generals, and the heritage of all southerners is being attacked and erased . Why not the Hunley ? The dukes of hazzard can't be shown anymore because of a flag . These symbols are monuments to the history of the southern cause and bigoted censorship .!
@@johnandkayvest4917 I think thats why they are calling it the "H.L." to save it from this bs...
@John and Kay Vest. Don’t touch my Hunley pls that is family history Hunley was my great uncle like 10x over, I don’t agree with the confederates but we need this history to sustain that way the future dosnt have to repeat the past. I’m sure if they erected a statue of H.L.Hunley itd get torn down probably which I don’t agree with tearing down confederate history yes that history is the United States worst past and history but we need a rememberance of where this nation came from and not to return to
Was there any mention in the Museum of the location of the Hunley being found by Clive Cussler and his organization?
Great video! Very brave combat sailors!-John in Texas
I seen her before she was cleaned up I seen her out side still rough after they brought her up . So exciting so bravery
Thank you so much for your video. I really enjoyed it and would like to go and see it for myself.
Great video. I would have liked to see the six foot guy who was watching the lecture sit in the physical representation so I could get a visual picture of the interior space. I'm 6' 2". I was surprised that one of the crew was 6' 1". It must have rougher on that guy than the shorter guys.
Extremely interesting and been WAITING to watch IT since 2000(when IT was salvaged)🏜🌌👨🏻💻🏘🌵
Very good video, thanks.
Cool cool cool! Been fascinated from the moment I heard of it,-- Clive cussler finding her doesn't hurt either!
The museum is not entered until 6:50 into the video. Fast forward unless you like to watch traffic and driving.
vanscoyoc, or if you don't want to listen to what I am saying while driving there....it is not just 'traffic and driving'......
I enjoyed the ride over the bridge, and seeing where to turn.
Thank you that was so interesting
It's sure an improvement over when you had to cross the New Bridge, built in the 1920's , and the bridge was two lanes wide, built for Model T's, with a two hundred foot drop to the water...
Was cool to see, really want visit. Going to myrtle beach in a few days would like to visit the Hunley also my mother’s maiden name is Hunley and have heard H.L.Hunley was a great uncle prob 10x over
Thanks!! learned a lot.
U said Wisconsin..!!!! I’m from Wisconsin! And I-90. I drive to beloit for work on I-90. And yea it looks gorgeous driving out there. Good video. Some very cool interesting history.
😅 good day to you. I know this video is a few years old but it brings back memories. Back in 2012 I believe I saw the Huntley myself and it brought tears to my eyes. Knowing that the men were still there at the time of the submarine being brought to the surface was a lot to absorb. Definitely enjoyed the museum myself and I would love to go back again and see it once more. Thank you for sharing
I would love to go see the Hunley. I remember learning about it in sub school many years ago.
First rule of sub school: there is NO sub school!
A very nice tour it'll be nice if they can save the Hunley and actually be able to display it. Thanks for sharing.
Kevin, in my video I briefly show two black objects on the floor, which are smaller pieces of the Hunley that have already received a chemical treatment. They are now being tested to see if they start to rust in the open air. If they prove to be stable, then that gives the conservation team a better idea for how long they still need to treat the main vessel before she can be displayed in the air. I believe that once that happens, the vessel and the museum contents would be relocated to a proper museum, to free up the conservation center for other projects.
Thank you Pail for including us on your visit to the Huntley.
You need to catch up with the times, cars nowadays that self-drive makes that adaptive cruise control as old as the submarine that you went to see today. Haha. good video.thumbs up.
Yikes! It's a feeding frenzy of crazed lunatics trying to tear down the great efforts of youtuuba in providing this video. There's no way in the heat of the moment, during videoing this that he could have known what the quality of the sound might be. He didn't have time to plan the tour before the event. This is basically a livestream of a chaotic event, which succeeded in educating me, and I'm something of a Civil War buff with special interest in ironclads and the Hunley. I'd say that was a job well done by youtuuba and he deserves our thanks, not jibes. Thank you for what you did for us, youtuuba!
C.S.S. Virginia (U.S.S. Merrimac) & C.S.S. Hunley: the south's 2 greatest weapons at sea.
Your filming was to fast. I couldn’t read them fast enough so I paused it. I followed the Hunley’s recover from the beginning and even gave money to bring it up. Love seeing what has been done for those brave men who died in the Huntley. I to was on subs in the Navy. Love seeing how simple their systems were until now. Amazing.
Yes, very brave traitors got what they deserved
@@paulj4155 don't be rude
Oh how the crew would luv the subs of the day,rip bros.in arms
Been there Done that ! Very enjoyable musuem .. History !!
Great video saw the Hunley 08 and def wasn’t as set up as this was very cool to see how much more they’ve done to it
It’s even more beautiful in real life I’ve been their
there
Thanks very interesting!
One of the reasons why I don't put my videos of historic sites up on YT is because of the way I view things. This video is a prime example of how I don't view things. It's great as a personal memento but as an educational tool, it's wild-all over the place. To me, all of the minutiae, the tools, and the little internally found artifacts equal the weight of the Hunley. Each of the crewmen was painstakingly forensically reproduced meaning that the manakins were what they really looked like. The oil can was removed from the concretion with a dental pick and oil was still in the can when it was removed. I realize the historical value of the Hunley but the artifacts you skipped over were just as important.
Great museum video. Thank you.
Great video bro
I have to wonder, with all the protests and tearing down of Confederate statues, how this may affect the Hunley restoration and its museum. I certainly hope that they don't do anything to ruin this amazing piece of history .
Taking down a statue is NOT erasing history. History is what it is. Its in books and museums etc. You CANT erase history! What is being done IS to no longer have monuments to HONOR men who fought FOR slavery. Keeping them is like honiring the men who fought to promote Hitler's agenda. The South fought to promote the South's agenda for slavery and that was shameful, no matter how you slice that cake. The sub is history. The statues are not....
@@TheUglyHookerGlad they are not destroying the southern Plantations. They are good for tourism and local income. The USA should have worked together and come up with a figure of how much to pay the Plantation owners a far amount to release the slaves and send them back to Africa if they wanted.
Stationed at the old submarine base in Charleston (it was just the Coast Guard and Homeland Security then), but never got the chance to see this in person!
@Kabuki Kitsune I think their status as traitors of the Union, who still seem hell bent on going back to glory, prevents that (they don't wanna talk about slavery, but they'd rather AA "know their place", not have advancements, not go to their schools, are ok with them being killed by cops, etc).
@Kabuki Kitsune Not in these times. The Left is tearing everything Confedred, Union, down
Im going to see this in person 🇺🇸👍
I hope Ravell comes out with a model. I would buy one in an instant.

why did the crew release the ballast? Did they not know what the shock would be like under water? I'm sorry I couldn't watch the end of the video, because of the camera movements. It was a little like watching The Blare Witch Project.
The crew did not release the ballast. When found each crew member was found at their station and the levers to release the ballast sections were in the locked position. It appears there was no attempt by the crew to release the ballast and surface.
They don't teach this in public schools. I didn't know anything about this until like three to four years ago.
My son is 15, and in history class, his teacher argued that the Confederacy did NOT have the Hunley.
It's ridiculous.
Squirley Spitmonkey, what the Hunley museum says is that the Hunley was a private venture of southern citizens, and was never requested or ultimately commissioned by the Confederates. However, as this Wikipedia entry states, ".....the [H.L. Hunley] submarine was shipped by rail to Charleston, South Carolina, arriving on 12 August 1863....... the Confederate military seized the submarine from her private builders and owners shortly after arriving, turning her over to the Confederate Army. Hunley would operate as a Confederate Army vessel from then on, although Horace Hunley, and his partners would remain involved in her further testing and operation. While sometimes referred to as CSS Hunley, she was never officially commissioned into service."
So, the teacher was correct if he/she meant that the Hunley was never an official vessel of the Confederates, not owned by them.
Although many people assume that the Hunley WAS an official Confederate vessel, and thus should be called "CSS Hunley", that is incorrect. It was and remains just the "H.L. Hunley".
@@youtuuba that is not what the teacher was getting at. She didn't want to give the Confederacy credit where credit is due because that's "incorrect"
That's wrong think.
@@squirleyspitmonkey3926 , how do you know what the teacher was "getting at"? You said your son heard the teacher say something in his history class, which he apparently then reported to you. That is one level of 'remove' right there, and big misunderstandings occur for such disconnects.
If I were you, and felt that the teacher was misrepresenting historical fact, I would:
- first inform myself to make sure I know the facts...I would consult serious historical sources, and not rely on what I happen to read or hear online
- I would contact the teacher and ask about it. If the teacher says your son misunderstood, I would ask the teacher to clarify the issue with the class, and ask your son whether that took place
- if the teacher tells you that he/she is teaching non-factual information, or if your son reports that no clarification was given, then I would call the school superintendent and insist on investigation and remedy
- If the school does not cooperate as I suggest they do, then I would consider going higher up the chain, or talking to the press.....
@@youtuuba after the second sinking General Beauregard decided the Hunley was a death trap and would not use it again. It was eventually given back to the investors. When it sank it was in the hands of the investors again.
But they had a letter of marque from the Confederate government. That made the Hunley a privateer and would have paid, from the Confederate government, a reward to the investors for every ship sunk. That makes it a shop fighting for the Confederacy.
@@squirleyspitmonkey3926 nothing new. Most historians don't want to give the Hunley it's due credit either. They like to say it was "an unqualified success as it sank during the sinking of the Housatonic."
But it didn't.
During the civil war the US Navy conducted an official inquiry into the sinking of Housatonic. A member of the crew of the Housatonic saw a ship coming to their rescue that ran over "a blue light low on the water."
That would be the signal light from the Hunley to a soldier waiting for them on the beach. A light that soldier testified to seeing. But historians have always said he lied and they never look at the US Navy court of inquiry into the attack.
Have they found the ship that was sunk by the hunley?
I would like to know more about the evolution of concepts in the design to modern submarines. Additionally, I would like to see in as much detail as possible the design of the spar torpedo.
There is a beautiful story,i was there
great video thanks for putting it on,
It was made with the best material I'll bet @that time. Why it looks good shape
The Tour guide seems to make a point of noting that the H. L. Hunley was never CSS Huntley (a military vessel). As though there might be something wrong with it being a Confederate vessel?
Well, he's trying to accurately represent the history of the sub and its place in history- it never was involved with the CS Navy or commissioned with that branch- so it couldn't have been a "CSS" anything. It was a privateer boat possessed by the Army. Nobody denies what side it or it's crew was fighting for- and by extension what that meant. Nobody is "bleaching" it's history by accurately and honestly representing it.
@@seand7894 I simply posed a personal question about the motives of the Tour Guide based on my perceptions of his wording and tone. Whether or not the boat was "commisioned" into the Confederate Navy during a time of war is nothing more that navel gazing. The fact that the boat was never commissioned is simply useless information of interest only to an academic, a lawyer or , most likely, someone trying to obfuscate the issue. It is totally inconsequential to anything to do with the war. The Confederate military took control of the vessel and it killed three military crews. It's primary purpose was to sink Union shipping, which it did. Whether or not the "bleaching" of history was the intent is purely a matter of option. Based on what is taking place nationwide with regard to Confederate monuments, cemeteries and war memorials to question the motives of anyone commenting on the Confederacy is perfectly reasonable, appropriate and necessary.
Awesome video, so the bodies dissolved away right? Because I don’t believe they found much of anything inside.
They found the remains of the crew, intact enough that the researchers could tell where each crew member was and in what position they were in.
youtuuba I don’t think they were feminists
@@axlyoung1218 , damned autocorrect....fixed now
They found complete skeletons (though disjointed) with some tissue and brain matter still visible. ^v^
How do you know what they looked like? Pictures?
Maryellenshock, what do you mean by "they"?
Thanks
Basically one big human powered torpedo, an aquatic "kamakasi."
William Hunter, well it was not designed or intended to have a Kawakami role....though it killed some or all of three crews, it was not supposed to be suicide mission type vehicle.
cool bridge
I wish this guy talking had a Mic it looks like it would be very interesting to hear what he's talking about I'm sure the way he is pointing at photos of the sub that's the subject
That was fascinating! It took a lot of courage to be a crew member on that boat. Certainly not for the claustrophobic! Was that a model of the interior at the end of your tour? It looked a little more spacious than I imagined from the sticks the docent used to describe the interior dimensions.
John Anderson, the museum has a couple displays that are basically cutaways or sections. They are oversized to allow people to step into them.
Today, a Confederate funeral procession would probably not be allowed. History is history and it happened. Good, bad or indifferent. I'm so glad they found her, raised her, treated the dead with honor and dignity, and conserving the Hunley
I don't give a fuck what anyone says. I love and respect any place that gathers an army from nothing but farmers, etc and is strong enough to stand on their own and give a standing army a run for their money.
I don't care. Much more respect for the Confederacy than the union
@Squirley Spitmonkey Hell no....they could have picked that cotton and tobacco if they was that strong....👎🏿
@@TheUglyHooker really is that all you can say?
@@tinachandler3091 I got as much respect for them as I do for suicide bombers. Society has become so fake that even the truth actually bothers people
23:00 finally
The one thing that I cant figure out..why in gods name..why use open top ballast tanks?
Two reasons. The first was the ability to bail any water that intruded into the crew compartment into the ballast tanks so it could be expelled via the ballast pump. Second, and maybe even more important was the additional volume of air now available for the crew to breathe. As tested, they would run out of air at approximately the two hour mark. Without the additional ballast tank volume, they would have run out of air much sooner. ^v^

Did anyone get a picture of the gold coin
Mike Bartlett, I dunno.....let's ask everyone......
Many. You can buy a replica from the Friends website.
Wow.....I am surprised at how intact the Hunley was after so many years sunk in salt water.
Thank you for the effort but the camera panning was way to fast.
And you should spell check.
@@susiearviso3032 fuck off. Was that spelled right?
@@susiearviso3032 Oh sorry... Fuck off.
@@susiearviso3032 Did you copy that grammar cop?
Hello from NZ one of the theory's floated was that they were to close when the torpedo went off. With the concussive force from the torpedo charge going off battering the sub resulting in the crew been concussed or killed outright (possible over pressure inside) as well as generating multiple small leaks which flooded the sub sending it to the bottom. Hence no attempt appears to have been made by any of the crew to drop the emergency ballast or right the sub
floatsomboy, that is THE accepted theory at this time. According to the docent, all other theories were disproven by evidence found after the Hunley was raised.
I don’t believe that theory, because theory has it that the Hunley rammed the Union ship, and the Union soldiers thought the Hunley was a floating log and then realized it was an attack and tried to shoot cannons at it. Well theory has it people on the beach in Charleston saw the blue light that the Hunley was to show or shine when the mission had been completed. I believe it maybe have been shot with a cannon but the historian said the hole on hull was natural idk bout that maybe it sank on the way back
@@KlowninnPlays The sailors on the Housatonic didn't try to aim their guns at the Hunley until it was too late. According to the testimony given at the hearing there was only small arms fire and some speculate that the break in the forward hatch coaming could have been caused by it.
How many times is it necessary to disprove that theory before people with only a superficial understanding of the story of the H.L. Hunley stop bringing it up? It's so easy to say, "oh, it must have been the explosion that sank the boat." It's much more difficult to find a theory that actually fits the evidence.
@@barryrogoff6764 Read IN THE WAVES by Rachel Lance.
Is this a revised & exact replica?
Not a replica. That is the actual submarine itself
The H.L. Hunley was a confederate submarine, which sank a union steam boat on it's first AND last voyage. It sank not too far from the steam boat.
FadedVision YT, why do you bother writing a comment that just duplicates information in the video?
@@youtuuba because the docent is telling people it was never a confederate state ship when, if you see that it's wrong. When in fact it was a confederate state ship.
@@iflytango , every book and authoritative source I have seen says that the Hunley was never part of the Confederate navy, although the navy DID commandeer it from its civilian owner, and use it for their purposes. Some people will decide in their minds that if the Hunley was used by the navy that it belonged to the navy or was officially part of the navy. History says that the Hunley was never a commissioned vessel in the Confederate navy. THAT is what the museum curator was talking about, and according to factual history, he was correct in saying it.
As for you assuming that I only believe or think this based on one statement made by a curator, that is an insulting and condescending attitude on your part. You don't know me, and you have no idea of how much width and depth there might be to the knowledge of others. Am I an expert? No, I am not. Am I an historian who studies and reads widely? Yes I am. So I will stick to my guns on this unless I see evidence that the Hunley was actually a commissioned vessel in the Confederate navy, and I doubt that will be forthcoming.
Minor correction- and respectfully made- it was possessed from the privateers by the Confederate Army, not the Navy. Regardless it still never was involved or commissioned with the CS Navy- so it's common name "CSS Hunley" is really misleading. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the boat was referred to as the "Hunley" until after it sank.
23:03 The Hunley was a Confederate Ship contrary to what the history changing tour guide wants you to believe. It was built just like it's predecessors "The Pioneer" and "The American Diver" with it's sole purpose to destroy Union Ships. It was not a pleasure craft it was an instrument of war waged against the U.S.A
It was also named the Hunley by investors that had invested money into the building of the ship with Horace L. Hunley.
ChristianConservativ, I have read a lot of history and books about the Hunley, and NONE of them claim that the Hunley was an actual part of the Confederate Navy, or owned by the the Confederate states. I definitely got the impression that the the Hunley was a privately funded 'patriotic' enterprise that was indeed used in the Confederate cause.
Even the Wikipedia page states that the Hunley was never part of the Confederate military. Apparently, although the Hunley remained privately owned, she WAS operated by members of the Confederate army/navy.
So while I agree that the Hunley's history hovers over a gray area in terms of ownership & operation, I think it is wrong to condemn the folks at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center as "revisionists" for trying to be technically accurate in what they tell visitors.
@@youtuuba What sailors manned it 3 times? Union or Confederates? Maybe the Vikings, Aztecs, Romans? Maybe Geronimo was the captain? Give me a break. Then you bring in Wikipedia? lol
@@ChristianConservativ , make up your own rules if you must. But MANY authoritative history books and other sources state strongly that the Hunley itself was never owned by any part of the Confederate goverment or military, even though she was indeed manned by Confederate crews. You stated she was a Confederate ship, which is historically incorrect. By your logic, if I loan my car to a friend, the car belongs to him. Wrong!
@@youtuuba When the commanding general, i.e. P.G.T Beauregard, commandeered it under the authority of the Confederate States of America, it became property of the Confederate States of America. Now then, go and loan your friend your car.
just read an update. after cleaning off concreation. some pipes were found to have been broken from their fittings. allowing some water into the boat. not enough to sink her. most likely some kind of combat damage
What material, were the pipe and fittings, made of, and do they know what kind of pipe dope was used I'm guessing red lead,and lampwick
All that explanation of how the binoculars were restored and treated and everything, and then instead of a case with the binoculars for everyone to see, they had my 9 yr old draw a set.
SC……you’re soaking in it.
Who found the Hunley?
That depends on who you believe.
Clive Custler diving team found it, a few days after Custler had to leave to head back to Colorado.
E. Lee Spence claims to have found it first but was never credited with the discovery because he wouldn't reveal the exact location and his presentation of evidence was poor.
I'll bet that's a long pipe , explosives mounted at the tip a long fuse an explosion would blow the end of the pipe water could blast threw to the inside . Unexperienced crew might panic if they survive the blast . Theoretical explanation .
Great tour video! I feel like I was there. I was in Charleston years ago when the Huntley was first found and raised. None of this was set up yet.
Awsome job
I want to go there so bad!
Why don't you go if you'd really like to go?
What a horrible way to die being drown in the dark
12 minutes of driving. I just fast forwarded through them.
John Hagen-Brenner, why aren't you the clever one! I'll alert the media.
Seriously, it is not 'just' driving....it has narration, local information, and some nice scenery.
Please
Enough with traveling to the museum scenes. Over six minutes of this.
Bill Huber, enough of your small minded, rude, bossy commenting. I make videos that include ambience. If you don't like it, don't watch it, or at least use the fast forward control.... That's why it's there. You write like you think I owe you something....jeez!
I agree it wasnt what i came for but i just forwarde to the cool stuff. A longer video pays better so i understand why youtoooooba done it.$$$$$$$ makes the world go round go round....
As dangerous as this little sub was, proving it could kill, even its designer, there was no shortage of volunteers to go next. I've always found that amazing the level of national pride.
you sould change your title to........very long drive in the car where i dont know how to operate the window control to the museum for a walk thru
Christopher480, I will file your comment in the "pointless and ungrateful comments by people who have not figured out how to use UA-cam's fast-forward feature".
Love the subject matter but frankly if you can't get to the video within the first 5 minutes I'm not hanging around.
Jcgreen, I make my videos for intelligent adults, who are able to figure out the UA-cam fast-forward feature. But some other kinds of people try to watch, and then the bitching begins.
The general rule is if you don't get to the subject within the first 5 minutes of the video you've pretty much failed. intelligent adults? well this adult went to film school so...
@jcgreen926 , there is no "general rule". Quit your silly bitching.
Oh yeah, fix your sound.
@@jcgreen926 , another useless comment from you. Do you think I am a mind reader. Save yourself some work and stop with the pointless comments.
Positively NO way I would have gotten in that thing! Those were brave men and that's an understatement. I live in SC and as a kid we use to go to the Charleston Museum from time to time and see the mock up model of the Hunley way before it was discovered. It was a really cool experience.
