HUNLEY SHIP LOG FOUND?
Previous E-Sylum issues have discussed the Hunley, the
Confederate submarine which sank in Charleston harbor
on February 17, 1864 (see vol 4, nos 22-24, May 27 -
June 10, 2001). According to an Associated Press
story released September 29th, "X-rays revealed what may
be the captain's logbook in the muddy interior of the
Confederate Civil War submarine H. L. Hunley, which
was raised in 2000 after 136 years on the sea floor
outside Charleston harbor, scientists said yesterday."
"Hunley Commission chairman Glenn McConnell said the
team of archeologists who excavated the vessel hope the
log, once retrieved, will shed light on why the ship
mysteriously disappeared..."
