Secrets of a Civil War Submarine: Solving the Mysteries of the H.L. Hunley

It is the story of the first submarine to sink a Union warship during the Civil War. The author starts the book with a narrative history from the birth of the need for such a vessel to break the Union blockades to completion of a working sub that sinks one—only one—Union ship, before sinking for a third and final time. After the big picture story of the Hunley, the author provides a chronological timeline starting with the search for the sunken vessel, its discovery and raising, forensic investigation techniques, and its restoration and preservation.
