STORY:
H. L. Hunley, often referred to as Hunley, CSS H. L. Hunley, or as CSS Hunley, was a submarine of the Confederate States of America that played a small part in the American Civil War. Hunley demonstrated the advantages and the dangers of undersea warfare. She was the first combat submarine to sink a warship (USS Housatonic), although Hunley was not completely submerged and, following her successful attack, was lost along with her crew before she could return to base. The Confederacy lost 21 crewmen in three sinkings of Hunley during her short career.

_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

My uncle Jesse Thomas was in the 24th Alabama. They pulled his company from the field to work on this. It was built in a church that sat just above the east entrance of the tunnel under the bay. The blacksmith shop was across the street from the church. They had to tear down the door of the church to get it out. He is buried in the Chestnut Creek Cemetery north of Verbena Alabama.
Sorry I made a mistake. The west entrance of the tunnel was where the church sat. Thanks for the video. James
@Paula Gibson My 2x great grandmother was Jesse's sister. Her sister married my grandfather's brother. I put flowers on her stone every spring.
There is a partial replica in Mobile's History Museum located near the Bankhead Tunnel entrance.
Wow! You are part of this history as well (in an indirect way, because you added some more information on it). Thank you so much. And thanks for your uncle Jesse Thomas for being part of this history. R.I.P.
Very cool!
I remember this funeral on the internet, I believe it was 2002 or 2003? The bodies were brought to the cemetery by caisons. The procession was accompanied by Civil War reanactors wearing period uniforms and women in 1863 hoop dresses. It was known as The Last Funeral of the Civil War.
I found this episode most interesting. My uncle was killed on the HMAS Australia after being hit by a kamikaze . Lost in the pacific . Never found and no grave to visit 🙏🙏🙏 aged 20 . Thankyou to all who have served for their countries RIP. Lest we forget, TFS sharing Ron.
There is a grave to visit… though not all can be seen: his grave is all the ocean, and he got a burial at sea.
Can you imagine being in that submarine and finding out you're claustrophobic? As you're desperately trying to slow your breathing to conserve the only oxygen in that thing, but panic is setting in? GOD BLESS those men!! GREAT VIDEO RON!
I would never get in that thing. They would be court marshaling me.

I love hearing all your stories, Ron. I remember you saying you are 6’5”, so I’m sure you were really feeling the small enclosed space of a submarine. My husband is a 6’7 retired U.S. Marine and spent a lot of time on Navy ships. He says if he had a dollar for every time he forgot about his height and whacked his head on the bunk above him or on the low ceiling and fixtures, he’d be a rich man. 😂🤣
Thank you for paying tribute to these wonderful heroes that were extremely instrumental in overcoming the ( at that time) enemy. They went out and served knowing they would 100% die for their country. If I’m not mistaken, one of the “men “ was a teenager that begged to join the crew.
Wow! I worked on the Navy Base in Charleston in 1981. I was a civilian filling vending machines for our Navy guys and gals. My oldest child was born there. It sure is a beautiful place. Thank you so much for the fascinating history lesson. I loved history in school but I would have loved it even more if we had classes with this stuff in it.
The very best cemetery walk story ever, the whole exhibit and actual artifacts blew me away ! Top notch
This was absolutely superb storytelling. I loved seeing the sub, and remembering this time in history. Thank you Ron.
I dont know how you do it Ron, every episode gets better and better. I thought I knew a lot about American history, but once again you prove me wrong.. Keep the quality vids coming. Cant wait for the next one. Thanks Ron.
Sweetest comment :)
I like all of Ron's videos but this one has to be near the top for me. So much history.
my oldest brother and one cousin were Navy! Very proud of them both for serving our country!
🇺🇸
My sister and brother-in-law were Navy too
I still have the VHS of 'The Hunley'. It was made in the early to mid- 1990s, I believe...great movie about the history of the submarine and its final crew.
Whou! What a story indeed! One of my friend was joined the
English navy as a young boy…and went all around a world in a submarine…for 20 years!!!!
The museum was absolutely fascinating!!! I wonder about those man toilet brakes?🤷♀️ how????
I made my first visit to Charleston in 2012 and visiting the Hunley was on my list of must. It was such an amazing thing to see in person. I remember finding it more emotional than I thought I would, and nearly being brought to tears when I fist saw the submarine.
Me to the bravery of these men
Watching this story, it reminds me of the LST325. After WW@, the ship was left in Spain (I could be wrong), but, in 2000-2001, the Navy team that were on that ship, all got together and decided to go to Spain and bring the ship home. They were told they were too old, and couldn't do it. Not being deterred, they went and sure enough, they brough her home! From Gibralta to Mobile, Alabama. Set sail December 12, 200 and docked in Mobile January 12, 2001! My husband was a HAM and he talked to the radio operator on the ship, when they docked in Nassau to repair a hole under water. Just thinking of these fellows, it makes me very proud that they took the task, did the job, and brought our ship home! It's a museum or is being made into a museum. When my husband came back to Georgia (from New Mexico) to take me back with him, we stopped and go to go aboard! What a thrill!!! I made a scrapbook on this.
Cool!!!
A great piece of work bringing attention to the story of Hunley. I enjoyed every minute! The tour through the museum was the highlight and was an especially interesting part of the episode. To bring faces to these brave men who gave their lives. Our technology today is just awesome to not only bring up the vessel, but to find the coin, the needle and the bandana after so many years under water! You did a wonderful job of bringing the Faces of the Forgotten to life from this moment in time. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Also, Thanks to Bruce Littell for his service to our great country.🇺🇸
That was so fascinating. We have been to the museum in Virginia with the Monitor and the Merrimack. So fascinating what they find preserved in the silt. Very much enjoyed this video. Thank you Ron.
A few years ago I came across this story on UA-cam. They even have the videos of when they located the H. L. Hunley and how they proposed to raise it (and actually raising it). All the process of cleaning the inside of the submarine. Such a humble experience to see it up close here with your video, Ron! Thank you!
Wow, what a great story, Ron!! I, too, had goose bumps! I love civil war history and read and see everything I can re: that era whether union or Confederate. So fortunate that Clive found it and that all could be raised intact. The reconstructed likenesses of the men are incredible! Thank you for taking us along on this journey. 👍😃
Ron, I've commented alot since discovering your channels in the last month or so. But with this episode, you "blew it out of the water"!
I too had chills when you sat in the mock-up & when Bruce showed us the artifacts.
Yes, I've studied these civil war subs for several years...but this tour made it a tactile experience that I had only dreamt of! Many thanks.🙏🏼
I love that description, thank you Cathrine!!
If killed by the trauma of the blast, was death almost instantaneous or did they suffer a long, drawn out, excruciatingly painful death? This is just so sad.
Although no one will know for sure, most likely they were killed instantly. We can only hope.
Ron, I truly do hope so. Those guys were truly brave men to volunteer to undertake such a dangerous mission. Despite what must have been a horrible sense of fear, they did what they felt they had to. May all their souls be resting in peace.
Looking forward to this episode,Ron.(but I look forward to them all) Thanks for all the research as well as the commitment to the work that you have done and are doing.Your compassion toward your subjects and attention to detail is appreciated by many.The fact that you put a lot of miles on your personal vehicle as well as the wear and tear is not lost on us either.
Thanks -glad you enjoy the work, it’s all part of what I would do anyway, just bringing the camera along. I’m on my adventures. Glad that you all come along! 👍👍
We should start a go fund me to buy Ron a nice little RV so he has a comfortable place to rest and room to work on these awesome videos for us!
Excellent program. Thank you!!!!!
Wow this was a great experience to see the H L Hunley for real! I won’t get to visit since my health is too compromised to travel, but I thank you for the opportunity to glimpse the things and people you’ve read about just truly come to life! :-)
Just got to watch this and it was exceptional. I remember when the Hunley was discovered, also the painstaking work that was done to create true likenesses of the men found inside. I did not know the specifics of how they died and found this to be very interesting. Hopefully, it was a quick death. I remember hearing that they were all in place at their seats, as you said, no evidence of scrambling for the hatch, etc. That kind of confirms for me that they died quickly. Thanks again, Ron, for a stellar experience!
History has always been my thing, along with a good ghost story....and this story was wonderful. A story I wish I would have learned when I was in school...non political, non racial, just a story about my country's history. Thanks
Fascinating history!
I'm especially interested in subs/sub history because my husband retired as a career Submarine Officer.
I have my g.g.grandfather's Civil War record and it has a description of him so I'm sure they got some info from those on these men. RIP ❤
Wow, this was a treasure to watch!!! Something I have never seen before, and you gave us the experience to learn and hear a piece of history!!!🙏🏻👏RIP to all...
I saw the program that showed the women when she uncovered the coin. Pretty neat. You have to remember the story of the coin was just folklore, they did not know if it would be there. They were only engaged to be married when she gave him the coin for good luck when he left for his first service.
Best part of the story.
you are now an incredible documentary film maker sir in a total complimentary way... what a beautiful cemetery down there .... this was absolutely priceless for me , my father told me this one story when i was a young boy about a ceremony the us submariners hold for the fallen on the anniversary of the Thresher sinking ....he had many stories about being frightened during deep dives and would go into detail about the origins of submarines and that the first submarine was from the south and that it was lost and never recovered......but then in 2000 when it was official he was overjoyed by the discovery and made it one of his lifes missions to head down here pay his respects unfortunately he passed before this was able to happen.....in a very serious way you have given me fulfillment and closure with this amazing adventure... I'm devasted I missed this live dude you are one of the great ones Ron thank you
Thanks Brittan, means a lot
Means a lot coming from you, THE filmmaker himself!!
Admiral Farragut has an Avenue named after him in San Diego, Ca. along the foothill of Cabrillo National Park Preserve.Great presentation as usual Sir.
Ron , this just blew my mind on the artifacts they found. Such an AMAZING history lesson. Thank you.
A must watch, Ron THANKS for sharing!!
Thank you Ron for sharing this story it was very interesting.. I love seeing things about our history along time ago..with what these men went thru and endured during their time and duty on this submarine..... love seeing the relics of these men's and all the items they had abd was recovered....very well done.....I enjoyed watching everything you showed Ron. Thanks again. Take care and stay safe and warm and healthy......safe travels everywhere you go....sir.......🌎☺️
I remember when the HL Hunley was found & the big celebration when it was brought up. Those men deserved to be placed to rest. Obviously, the confederacy was on the wrong side of history but those soldiers were doing what they had to do. Just like any war, our veterans deserve respect. I've seen people protest Iraq soldiers funerals firsthand and it's disgraceful. It doesn't matter your personal views on the war. They earned a proper burial and should be allowed to rest in peace. Thank you for this beautiful memorial video.
I just found your channel today. This was excellent bringing together the cemetery and history of the event. The museum tour was awesome.
Great to have you with us Fran!!
What a thrill to see the H.R. Hunley.
Thank you Ron for another great explore! Wonderful history, these men should be remembered.
Pro production! Thank you
I'm ready to go on another adventure with my Faces of the Forgotten family 😁
Thank you Ron for an outstanding video on those brave Southern boys and their sacrifice and you Bruce Littell
for your service to out great nation.
Phenomenal
Thank you for sharing this story and museum..
You are the best UA-camr imo.... always fascinating and fact-filled.
Hugs thanks 🤗
WOW!!! what a great story you told about the CSS Hunley Ron. God Bless those service men for giving up the ultimate sacrifice servicing in the military. May they rest in peace 🙏. Thanks for going to the museum to show us the historical side of the Hunley. Thanks to Mr Bruce Littell for showing you around. Thank you for your service Mr. Bruce. I live in South Carolina. I live about a couple hours away from Charleston. I'm am going to check out the Hunley Museum. Thanks again Ron for all of your dedication and hard work 👍. All of your stories are wonderful, but this one has to be in the top three. Keith from South Carolina.
What an amazing video. Beautiful cemetery. The museum was fascinating. I can't imagine sitting in the sub, never mind diving in the water in it. I loved seeing what the men looked like. Thank you Ron, take care ❤
I homeschool my kids today we will skip the usual history lesson and watch this. I watched last night and was just amazed! Such great work!
Wow. Nice compliment. Ty Shannon.
Great story love it. I always loved history. History that was taught in school was not enough for me.
Ron i cant wait to see all of your videos.. those people had familys ,there was love and everyone had a story behind them.
Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for sharing the stories.
That bandana! And the science behind recreating the men's faces! AMAZING!
Thank you so much for sharing trip with us. Whata great way to learn true history. 🧡
Thanks Ron for sharing. In 1999 a movie was made with Armand Assante as Dickson. Interesting and tragic for such brave men. I am curious if John Kelly may be an ancestor. I'll have to check him out. RIP 🇺🇲
I always thought the history of the Hunley fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!!
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous job Ron!! You just get better and better!! Thank you!!
I have been looking forward to this episode. Can’t wait.
Wow! Thank you so much for this wonderful history lesson and for taking us to the museum. I had read about the Hunley years ago and to see it was just awesome. All of the men who participated were amazingly brave. RIP to them all.
What a fascinating insight into your history, Bruce was so helpful. The work put into the exhibition was amazing to see. They were such brave me n to go down in such a tight space, WOW very interesting video Ron thank you and such a beautiful cemetery 🇮🇪💖
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-cam channels , it combines two of my favorite interests cemeteries and history . Thanks so much !
Great to hear, Kenneth….thanks!
Thanks so much Ron! This was an outstanding video! Part of our history!
What a great show. Such detail.
Unbelievable Ron ,you outdid your self this time,may the crew r.I.p for time eternal.keep the good work coming mate,stay well travel safe,best wishes from ballarat in Oz,👏👏👏👍🇦🇺.
Waited all day for this to come on. You did not dissapoint! Great footage and interviews. Thanks so much for your channel.
Fantastic Episode it’s unbelievable how they restored the mens faces. Thank you Ron and safe tidings. Ruben
Ron, you know how to build the suspense!
Thank you for such great episode. Your channel is so great. Thank you for acknowledging the people from the past, the history and for all you share. It's great to see know the history of the forgotten. You are a great story teller. Great videos.
I'm looking forward to this episode Ron. I moved to South Carolina two years ago this episode will give me a history as about the CSS Hunley and the crew.
It’s a good one. Some great history here, and you’ll see a lot in this episode.
Ron you do amazing job telling a story this is from Larry in Minnesota
Wow, thank you I love history and this was right up my alley. Fantastic job on everything.
Remarkable story, Ron, thank you for sharing this piece of history! I was especially impressed by how they used skulls, dna, and teeth to reconstruct the men’s faces and bodies. Extraordinary!!
Are you kidding. Ron I love this stuff. I set my reminder. There always seems to be a darker mysterious element to seafaring disasters. I’m always excited when there’s a post for a new story. You have a wonderful way of bringing the deceased to life. It’s amazing.
Fantastic work, as always. Love the longer episodes too! Always looking forward to your uploads.
I REALLY want to go see this. Thank you all for your service ✌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸
This was great! Love Clive. Thank you Bruce for your service and the great tour. Now I will have to look up more. Thanks Ron for this. Hey from Texas❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll definitely be watching 👀 👍
I am a long time civil war reenacter and lived in Florida at the time of the funeral service for the crew. I went to the ceremony and marched in confederate uniform to the cemetery. If I recall reproductions of the famous coin was sold to help the restoration of the Hunley. Another great video and wonderful drone work Ron thanks.
way cool that you do that --and did that, thanks Ron!
Wow absolutely amazing. Soo much fascinating history. Thanks for sharing Ron. Great stories from a brilliant story teller
Thank you Bruce and thank you for your service !
Magnificent tribute to the Hunley and her story! Stand tall Ron. Thank You.
Ohhhhhhhhh. I can’t wait. It will be another good one. Have yo set my alarm as it will be 2 am again.
Absolutely amazing Ron Those men were so brave There wouldn't be enough money in the world to get me into a submarine at any stage Thank you for this amazing story of the Hunley🍀🍀🍀🍀
As someone who really doesn’t like squeaky sounds, thank you for lowering the volume while you were cranking that manual hand crank. 😂 I was prepared to wince.
Oh thanks for noticing, I lowered it down from 100% to 10% and it still was annoying. Lol
As I was watching I pictured the men with oil cans doing their best to keep the bar lubricated so as to not only keep the sub as stealthy as possible, but to keep their sanity as well. That sound would drive anyone crazy after a few minutes of being inside of a sealed metal tube with that awful noise reverberating off of the walls, which would amplify the sound even more. That had to increase the men's anxiety and discomfort to an unbearable level.
I just love all your stories but this one was amazing I just loved the museum God bless each of these men and may they Rest In Peace you really did a awesome job
Ron....This was an excellent and fascinating History trip ! I thoroughly enjoyed it and will now try to visit it in person. It gave me the chills just to see some of the artifacts that survived and were recovered.. I commend you for taking us along ! Thank you so much 😯WOW !
Ron,this has to be my favorite of all. Heart breaking but a very important part of history, this is what shoul d be taught in history class today. Thanks for all you do.💋🇺🇸
I set my alarm so I can watch this live. I really enjoy the amazing content in every episode you show. Thankyou ❤ for your time and research.
Hi Ron loved the video I'm a loyal fan of your channel and I never miss your awesome stories my girlfriend and my friends are hooked on your channel keep up the awesome videos your friend Keith from Minnesota
What a fantastic museum! Bruce was a wonderful guide! Thank you!
Sometimes I just listen to you late at night as I'm laying in bed without even watching. You are a great storyteller.
Oh No Ron, I didn't want you to end this .. 😆😉 I enjoyed this so very much ! I read several books about The H. L. Hunley and I was so infatuated with the history of it all and of these brave men. Thank you for sharing The H. L. Hunley Museum with us ! Such an incredible story of our history ! 🇺🇸
I remember watching a McGyver episode where he reconstructed a face on a skull using pencil erasers. It was pretty cool and not far off from the real process where an artist will reconstruct a face based on bones and muscle tones using clay. There's a few youtube videos on it. It's fascinating.
You remember that? Impressed the heck out of me!
Hello gang! Standing by for the new adventure.
Wow! Thank you for taking us along Ron! Bruce was an excellent tour guide
I like all these very interesting thanks for sharing this
Thank you for one of the best tours I have ever had of an historic site. This story has always fascinated me and today I got a bird’s eye view of everything!!!Wonderful!
As always, your drone footage was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! LOVED the bird's eye view!!
RIP all the brave sailors on the Hunley!! XXXX
Ps Bruce is an AWESOME guide!!
Absolutely wonderful. Thank u ! I can’t imagine how claustrophobic I’d be 😳. The relics were just amazing
Linda!!! Really glad you liked it -that one was fun
Loved the episode Ron. Thankyou 💚
Ohh thank you Bruce, for working with us!
I would never be able to see this if it wasn't for you Ron, thanks :)
thank you Ron and thank you Bruce for tour and history. RIP gentlemen and thank you for your service/sacrifice
Great video!! Fascinating how some item were so well preserved. Thank you for all the research, time and dedication to your video's.
