On this day in 1863, the C.S.S. Hunley, the worldâs firstsuccessful combat submarine, sinks during a test run, killing its inventor and seven crewmembers. Horace Lawson Hunley developed the 40-foot submarine from a cylinder boiler.
No one knows how it felt to be a Civil War soldier crammed into the submersible iron cylinder called the H.L. Hunley. But Robert Neyland can guess that physical comfort was not a priority. On its final voyage, eight men, seated elbow to elbow, strained to crank a manual propeller, moving the submarine through the currents of South Carolina s Charleston Harbor. A ninth man stood hunchbacked, steering the vessel.
