- H. L. Hunley, often referred to as 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.

Though the Hunley was ahead of its time it was also a deathtrap. The Hunley actually sank twice before during sea trials, once caused by a hatch that failed to fully close and it sank before they could resurface with the loss of the entire crew. The second was with the inventor of the sub aboard, Horace Hunley, and it sank when waves from a passing ship swamped the open hatches, again with the loss of its crew and Horace Hunley. The sub was raised a second time and returned back into service for its ' third and final voyage. One thing that was left out of its' history was that when the Hunley sank and was raised the first two times the crews' bodies were so badly bloated that it was considered easier to cut the bodies into pieces in order to get them out through the hatches. I would have hated to be the guys who had that job.
Thank you for elaborating! That third crew had to have balls of steel to go forward after the previous two mishaps.
I was about to mention about the Hunley Sinking twice Before since wasn't in video But you Beat me too it glad to hear Someone Else knows their History as well.
I Accidentally learned about Hunley in a School Book I Ran Across when I was in middle School early 90's that showed the history of Hunley and pics I Always thought it would be Awesome to find the Hunley and find out what Happened and preserve the Hunley if Could and was Glad they did.
btw Scientists think Crew died from their own tnt torpedo Shock wave explosion causing Lung Damage and Brain injury's also found a pocket watch that stopped at 8:23 which scientists believe was time explosion was set off.
Fascinating and sad at the same time.
May they rest in peace, had to be a rough way to die
Traitors deserved it..CONFEDERATES !
@@chevinbarghest8453 Have you know no respect, regardless of what side they are on?
@@chevinbarghest8453 Actually the succession from the Union was 100% legal, it was in each states constitution that if they had the votes they could leave the Union. As a liberal I am sure you think it is perfectly acceptable to FORCE people to live by your values.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 My values include preventing people from barring blacks from shops coz of their color. Yes I think forcing that value has merit... Rand Paul doesn't..... he says it should be legal... and he destroys 'libertarianism' in that one sentence... The Confederate States wanted to keep slaving and raping their "property"... People in the North were prepared to die to stop that... People who believe in slave states and American Nazis, should be sent to Chinese re-education camps
@@chevinbarghest8453 I will agree that slavery is a stain on this nation. I will also say is was not a white black thing that the historical revisionists want to make it. The American Indians were big participants in the slave trade and bought a lot of African slaves to work for them. Some of the first slave rebellions were Africans rebelling against their American Indian masters and trying to flee to Mexico. There were also THOUSANDS of free blacks who owned slaves in the south. They even owned slaves at higher rates than whites in states like Virginia. However, none of that is taught because it doesn't fit the narrative of white man bad.
All of that is neither here or there I was simply saying that you would be wrong for calling the Southern States traitors for exercising their rights set forth in their state constitutions.
American technology at it's best.👍❤🇺🇸😄
american dos boat

certainement le 1er "vrai" sous marin de l'histoire ! super vidéo !
The Hunley was NOT made of a wrought iron boiler as you stated. Notice the steel plating attached to framing by rivets. The boiler story has been around a long time because no one had details and specifications for the Hunley. The mock-up that sat outside the Charleston Museum was what people thought the Hunley was. Many people were amazed at how advanced the Hunley was for its time. I have personally toured the Hunley four times, once shortly after it was first raised and before it was opened and excavated, and three times since. Each time I learn new things about the Hunley. It was an amazing achievement for its day. Darlington, South Carolina
Amazing
Wow trop impressionnant ce navire!👍
Sensational
Thanks for posting this video. Some further technical info on the operation of the torpedo and cause of the sinking would have been interesting.
It was a spar torpedo. The blast of that sank Hunley, too *. . .*
You can see the hole in the bow and another in the entrance tower that resembles a conning tower, they were probably too close and caught shrapnel from the torpedo
Thank you for this. The hatred for the Confederacy is becoming more and more ridiculous when one sees the destruction of the Republic happening in front of our eyes. Thanks again for showing this heroic bit of history.
i love em
Dave M says there wont be another civil war, because bone spur donnie, his nuts, and confederate commies are either in jail, or going. Love that REL statue that came down recently. God Bless the USA
@@davidmoser3535 Dave M doesn't even know which side are the commies. Since they always accuse the other side of doing what they are doing, Dave M undoubtedly is one and should never speak of God or the USA.
Don't reply. I'm done with you.
Oh so you're all in for the slavery, you goon.
@@ianicus123 Be very careful about calling people names. The U.S. Civil War was not about slavery. it was about the burgeoning industrial Northern states exploiting the agrarian southern states with destructively high taxes. Slavery was not involved until Lincoln made it an election issue. His solution to U.S. slavery was to ship all of the Africans back to Africa to a new nation called Liberia being established by former slaves. That failed due to a lack of private funding or support from Congress. So, he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which applied ONLY to the Confederate states NOT to the six Union states that were slave-holders. Slavery was abolished after the end of the Civil War. You should study history carefully before you open your mouth, start calling names, and displaying your self-righteous ignorance. Your pro-slavery Democrat Party is now engaged in making slaves of us all. Do not reply - I'm done with you too.
Bonjour de France. Magnifique restauration. Merci beaucoup.
Would have been nice to have it preserved as found on display with a replica build beside it.
I think the final picture is of a replica as the original surely would be too fragile and historically important to display outside in the elements
@@kiwifruit27 I would hope so . Much like everything it is only original once then it is just a rebuild until it is completely new again.
素敵な動画をありがとう。
南軍の勇士に心からの敬意を表す。
God bless them, fighting for what they believed in... Horrible way to go.. also great vid
And what did they believe in? The South split from the United States over the question of SLAVERY.
@@timothyhouse1622 The north did not dictate to the south "End Slavery" for one thing the north also had many slaves at this time. The north did free their slaves in the beginning but it wasn't until the Gettysburg address that Lincoln proclaimed all slaves be freed. Their are many reasons why the South succeeded but it certainly was not the Norths ultimatum "free the slaves"
Most soldiers didnt support the ideals, they were drafted and died for others people selfish interest
@@gillespriod5509 Many also joined as war was still believed to be a romantic and glorious adventure. If you asked a young soldier No or So when the war started what was the cause none would say slavery
@@markbrandon7359 funny, in EVERY SINGLE Letter of Secession the number one reason given for leaving was SLAVERY.
Try again, oh peddler of the BULLSHIT Lost Cause Narrative.
Was the crew found inside?
Saludos desde Venezuela, increible la imaginación de el hombre para dominar al hombre aun acosta de la vida de los demas, imagino que eso fue como un experimento lo de ese submarino, como para pasar de un lado a otro sin ser detectados por el enemigo, fuera de todo este comentario, imagino el terror que sintierón estos muchachos antes de morir tan tragicamente, lo digo porque yo pase por un caso y eso no se lo deseo a nadie, te pasa toda tu vida y tu familia por tu mente en ese momento Q.E.P.D todos esos muchachos murierón por culpa de los intereses otros.
Do you have anything on Mr. Holland`s submarine?
No tengo idea de por que me suscribí
Strange, that hole in the bow is where a torpedo tube would be.
Thats where the shrapnel from the torpedo hit it causing it to sink, it was too small to carry them internally
@@thecommodoredecker I realize that it was carried in front , I was just saying that in the future there would be torpedo tubes in that area. My fault for being so vague. But thanks for the info. I guess that it was true that it got stuck when ramming the ship.
@@neilstern7108 im not sure if they rammed the ship, but from what i remember, they really had no way of telling how far away they were, and they were too close when they fired, and the shrapnel and concussion from the explosion is what did them in, i could be wrong, but from what i saw here and from what i remember, thats what happened.. nice to actually have a conversation with someone interested in old history such as this instead of those who wave it off as nothing because of the stigma attached to it as of late, thank you
@@thecommodoredecker no, thank you great info. They did a great restoration. Would love to see it.
It would be cool if they could make a replica.
Hail to the Hunley!!!
I saw this back in 2001
DEO VINDICE
Title correction: it wasn't a U.S. submarine: it was a C.S submarine.
I will not imagine the last moments inside.
What a horrible scene must it have be, or totally quiet, well knowing that it is the end?
Why human Intelligence leads every-time to disaster?
It can happen once or twice!
But, again and again....for more than two century's?
Nowadays we have to look to the Russia and Belarus Region...oncle Sam is preparing or waiting for war against Russia for more then 1oo Years....is it now?
It seems there is no will to understand!
What I do understand is: too much money to earn, too much power involved!
The men inside this wreck did not see what's going on after there attack. Millions have fallowed them.
Not enough?
Confederates..they didn't die slowly enough
Awesome video, most confederate soldiers were very poor. Little or no money. The fought for a cause they believed in god rest all there souls. A tough period of history in the United States. Pray this never happens again.
The U.S.S. Huntley was first discovered in 1970 by E.Lee Spence.
he never had proof he found it. just random items that he claimed were from it. when they went to look for it again it was "gone".. go figure
Müsste eigentlich c.s.s huntly heißen ! Sie gehörte doch zur Konföderierten Marine
Oh FFS, it wasn't a United States Ship, ie USS. It was a CONFEDERATE States Ship, or CSS. They were the ENEMY of the US.
RIP, Patriots
GOD BLESS THE USS HUNLEY, THE MEN THAT SERVED ON BOARD HER, THE SACRIFICES THEY MADE AS WELL AS THE SERVICE THEY GAVE NOW & FOREVERMORE
That would be CSS Hunley. It was a Confederate ship which means it was an enemy of the US and NOT a US warship. Their sacrifice was to defend the institution of SLAVERY, the entire reason for the Civil War.
I mean, it was a good idea
why does the title say us submarine..it was a csa submarine
Technically not a US Sub
I love the confederate flag
Hola soy uruguayo me pueden decir cómo se llama la melodía que suena de fondo en el vídeo muchas gracias es hermosa la melodía
May god have mercy on all their souls
bueno es un sumergible, no un submarino.
May God have mercy on their souls and may they Rest In Peace..
It wasn't the US or USS anything. It was built by the Confederacy. It was however American.
The Titanic was sunk by a torpedo, but Hollywood paints a different picture.
Yeah, just keep convincing yourself of that, and the world will be a flatter place.
@@mikearmstrong8483 , hey brains. Why didn't the rescue ship, Carpathia, sink by an ice berg? And yet she was eventually sunk by a torpedo. You Google guys crack me up.
@@robertcornelius3514 Better question with that many ships in the area why was only one torpedoed and why would anyone do that when WWI was still years in the future? Your allegations don't match up with history.
a little to many confederate flags in this video we get it it was the south
nothing wrong with a flag unless you are projecting your own insecurities
R.I.P. the South Will rise again!!!
So will 'BBC' & enjoy your gaycation.
Oh, STFU. With your name I'd guarantee the "South" didn't have you sitting at the table.
