Those Southern Boys were BAD TO THE BONE!!! Can you just imagine what it took for a man back then to climb into a cast iron tube and trust someone that you can go under the water and live, fight a surface ship and then come back, ALIVE! And they talk about the brave men these days. Not to take anything away from them, but this was something BRAND NEW, that no one had ever talked about. I'm proud to say that my entire family was from the south and a lot of us are Native Americans. Slavery has nothing to do with being proud to be a Southerner! Because not all of us were slave holders, matter of fact, most of us were living on less than some of the slaves were being fed.
David Upton I’m a veteran myself black people lived in the south too but the same life your ancestors lived didn’t even if they were poor they still looked down on black people we didn’t ask to come here what makes you such a genius because there’s noticing genius about oppressing anybody you need to read more about history other than about the civil war!
People are ignorant the civil war wasn't fought about over slavery it had to do with.cotten succession said politics my Grandparents picked cotton 30+ years and never owned a thing
The Hunley was the first practical submarine, even though it was crude. On another subject, but heralding another first device, not too many years later, the first radio communication was demonstrated from one mountain top to another, in West Virginia when a dentist by the name of Dr. Mahlon Loomis demonstrated his Wireless invention and got it patented. Not long after that, the US Navy took his invention and carried out some experiments. All of this happened before Marconi was even born, and yet Marconi gets credit for 'inventing radio', so to speak.
It sends a shiver down my spine thinking of what it must have been like inside that thing with those men crammed in. The stakes foul air must have been horrible. One of the many psychological screenings today field submariners surely must determine how the person will adapt to a confined space. If.someone was susceptible to claustrophobia in any level it would be difficult to cope with our modern submarines. Now imagine sitting in that tin can with no place to go. Add to that human perspiration, no place to care for normal bodily functions and no way to scrub the CO2 from the air, and it sounds pretty grim. Historical sight or not, I wouldnt. Get in it.
Josiah 777. No it was built in Mobile at Park and Lyons. This battle sub was launched in SC. The original tests were done in Mobile Bay and River. Hunley built an earlier sub test prototype in New Orleans in 1861 (very different in shape).
@@Saiyan_Goku lol the thing sank 3 times everytime killing almost all on board. Yeah I guess only a "yank" could have put it's own torpedo so close it instantly killed all it's crew upon detonation, oh wait... 🙄. I can't wait till people like you don't exist anymore. Your bias bs only hurts actual history. Your almost as bad as those people trying to take down every statue. Don't worry it's not totally your fault. I blame a lot on your parents.
There are lots of theories flying around out there, and obviously nothing definitive has been declared (at least not that I've heard!). However, if the story I head last week is true (that the planned blue signal light was seen from the shore indicating a successful attack), then the explosion didn't do them in.
I have always found the Hunley interesting, but I feel like I can’t breathe every time I think about 8 men getting inside it and having the hatch closed. Then submerged. Stuff of nightmares for me.
This is a "poke" piece! Reporters don't care about the submarine at all but the museum paid to have the reporters come there and "poke" for new customers to come to the museum. Tickets just raised from 20 to 40 dollars because of advertising.
They have a tooth, it contains dna, evil scientists can recreate the whole body of the poor soldier and then, he can accurately recreate his account of the sinking! Or not?
You have no idea how cloning works do you? Yes, you could theoretically recreate the body but it wouldn't be the same person. The new being would not have any of the memories of the original
@@LinkTardis Exactly. Thank you. The more I'm reading on the Hunley, I'm wondering if soldiers volunteered or they were forced into service on her. My God, the man the ship was named after died with the second crew.
Seen mostly people back of heads of people an a sceagy womans voice an a couple of quick flashes of the Hunly.Which was the story content.good job NOT!
Like something The Flintstones would have dreamed up. Also, didn't his thing kill two complete crews during testing, and had to have been salvaged a couple of time already? The designer must have lied to the men -- "It's perfectly safe, boys, I'll stake my reputation on that." Southern genius.
The Hunley had a lot of features used on later subs. It had diving planes, carried a torpedo, could dive and resurface, used a single propeller, and had a primitive version of the snorkel. Actually, Mr. Hunley was one of the civilian crew members killed during testing before the Confederate army took over the project.
That close to shore and that shallow it would have been damaged by souvenir hunters once the location became common knowledge. Being that the boat was completely intact and small enough to raised in one peice, it is one of those times when it was preferably to salvage it and bury the crew on shore.
Oh! Look! They disturbed a war grave. Dug out the occupants and displayed their personal belongings for all the public to see. I wonder when the crew of the USS ARIZONA will get the same treatment. I give you a hint: it's right off the dock in Hawaii, in shallow water. Go get them!
How insanely brave those sailors were to stuff themselves into that iron tube and go to battle like that. Awesome courage.
That lady's voice is like a ice pick in the ears. Geez...........
Amen! Whew, thought it was just me...
As a submariner in the 60s and 70s I had spent time in Charleston SC. I never imagined we were going to sea,cruising over such a historic object.
The Japanese Sub. That got into Pearl Harbor an sunk was also found an Raised. 2 Man Mini Sub.

The woman in the studio would have been a better choice to do that report
The womans voice spoilt this otherwise excellent video
"spoiled"
That woman's voice is very grating.
I was on the HUNLEY's namesake submarine Tender U.S.S. HUNLEY AS-31
The last one of these I seen the photographer done a super fine job of capturing the back of the gus head all of the way thru it..
The gold coin on the commander was amazing.
That woman's shrill voice doesn't belong on a video.
I have a trickle of blood running out of my right ear!
I couldn't agree more! Hate this voice!
Armand Rodriguez She shouldn't be allowed to comment vocally.Only writing.
@@petergraphic5394 her writing would be in CAPS most likely
Great report Women's voice was very good.

Almost no discussion of the men who died in the Hunley, and the need to respect their remains and memory
Indeed.
This is a very interesting story . I would be very interested in its progress Super cool
I remember my visit, when I saw it the whole thing still had large rock growing off of it.
What was estimated speed of the Hunley, and approx how long did it take the sub to reach the Housatonic? 4 hours?
She was my first duty station, was pretty sad to see her go down while we were on our way to get stores.
This female should never be allowed to narrate anything, that voice! Imagine being married to that..
I agree 100%!
badgern100 Absolutely terrible.Should be banned!
No kidding, wow!
@@rippinaroundeverywhere9249 Oh
Read my mind, Broh... 3 years later!
I want to SEE the archaeology of the inside of the sub and the crew....
It blows my mind that there were subs in the Civil War.
It must have been claustrophobic for the sailors in that sub.
My Space Q
Can't help feeling sad for the crew
To the heroes of all of America's wars; who did their duty.
Long may her authoritah be respected.
Well, stand rite up and give a rebel yell!
First sub was made here in SC !

that strained warble was irritating, let the expert speak instead of cutting his commentary for her
Was that all their heads on display?
Fascinating. But the death in this thing must have been horrible...
Que emocionante ver este submarino despues de tantos años hundido ,expectacular la historia .
?????
Her voices is very disproportionately loud compared to everyone else.
I rather listen to Steven hawking theory about space for hours than that women!!
Stephen Hawking was awesome tho
The latest theory on the sinking that I have heard is that the crew was killed by the shock wave from their own torpedo.
Robert Hudson I’m pretty that did them in too
There are lots of theories flying around out there, and obviously nothing definitive has been declared (at least not that I've heard!). However, if the story I head last week is true (that the planned blue signal light was seen from the shore indicating a successful attack), then the explosion didn't do them in.
yea thanks for supposedly showing the inside?
I noticed that, too. I don't count the exposed sections as "looking at the interior."
We’re on the last day of school 🏫 and we are learning on it
I assume the crew could maintain a steady 60 rpm of the screw, c'mon engineers give us a clue.
Why don't you reveal the name of the famous author who found it?
Cussler?
Clive Cussler. My favorite author
It was a sound of woman?
Моя ты красавица,нашлась лапушка,симпотяжка.матросу покой глубин✝️🛐
Thats a tomb but the ghouls had to look.
Aaron Franklin would build a smoker out of that
Went to visit this and on the day we stopped it was closed
Meanwhile, 20 years later..........
Brave souls who did their duty. RIP.
Reminds me of the family guy female Asian reporter 🤣
A single shoe? A tooth... No bones....nothing else?
No mention of Clive Cussler, that's disappointing
Wow we learned nothing listening to this. Thanks!!!
No bathroom?
VOOODOOO
Working in that thing, I’m sure somebody wanted drinking water.
So many complaint about the speaker, but what about the jerky-jerky camera work? I was nauseated.
U can clone with that tooth now
25 men died in there 😳
Can you imagine being sealed into that tin can and submerged underwater.? 🤤
I have always found the Hunley interesting, but I feel like I can’t breathe every time I think about 8 men getting inside it and having the hatch closed. Then submerged. Stuff of nightmares for me.
@@IJustWantToUseMyName Yes, it would be terrifying even for those that are non-claustrophobic..🤤
they prolly lost electricity and crashed

kirk stinson
Can we give ’wise1’ some kudos for asking?
I can't believe this thing sank only one ship and like 8 people died!
Barry Kraft 5 died om the ship
And the sub went through 3 crews
it was made to stick explosives to boats by hitting them, the impact made it get destroyed after destroying one ship
@@LinkTardis Exactly. Thank you. The more I'm reading on the Hunley, I'm wondering if soldiers volunteered or they were forced into service on her. My God, the man the ship was named after died with the second crew.

That reporter sucks. Almost had to shut it off.
I wanted to see the skeletons.
Need to have a bit more respect for the dead.
Why such horrible narration. No respect. On mute, or with the specialist speaking, great clip.

The inventor died testing it
It even killed the crew that finally stuck a bomb in a ship.

It needs to be brought back to Alabama it's home!
Nope, SC property
@@sc1338 wrong! Bring it home
The sound of news women talking is rough. They sound like dudes who inhaled helium
They failed to mention if it was Union or Confederate..or really anything it did. ..I believe it sank a ship,then was hit with cannons.

Oh! Look! They disturbed a war grave. Dug out the occupants and displayed their personal belongings for all the public to see.
I wonder when the crew of the USS ARIZONA will get the same treatment.

Go get them!
It should be illegal for a female voice that irritating to be on TV. Sorry Laura.
destroy the hunley . it was crewed by traitors to usa. the white supremacists/nazis/kkk will show up with their flags to this monument to slavery.
oh, shut up
oh great a snowflake learn your history you idiot
It's not a monument to slavery; it's an historical artifact.
They where southerners they were not human it matters very little if they died.
