There's some info here on the conservation of the CSS Hunley that might interest some of us:

Robert,
Thanks
Not only good info but a subject I have been reading about since she was found. The entire CSS Hunley story is fascinating. It is real nice to see all the painstaking work coming to fruition.

Glad to see you call her the "CSS Hunley" Ernie; seems they all want to call her the "H.L. Hunley" these days. Political Correctness I assume! I guess courage was commonplace in those days, but the guts it must have taken to get into that thing is hard to imagine. |

Simply put
Facts are Facts and way too many people/idiots seem to have forgotten that! |

Indeed, and in the interests of accuracy I must note that I was mistaken: the Hunley was reportedly never formally commissioned as a CSA warship and therefore strictly speaking is not titled "CSS". |
