Overview
The H.L. Hunley was built for the Confederacy and became the first submarine to sink an enemy warship in combat, attacking the USS Housatonic in Charleston Harbor on February 17, 1864. It vanished shortly afterward, was found in 1995, and was recovered in 2000. Visitors can see the actual submarine in a conservation tank inside the Warren Lasch Conservation Center, with interactive displays on the archaeology, science, and technology behind the vessel.
