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.
Contrary to the opinions of the popular press, the story of undersea warfare in the Civil War is not limited to nor initiated by the C.S.S. Hunley. That boat s only unique claim to fame is that it was the first submarine to engage and sink an enemy vessel. Other submarines had sortied on combat patrols almost two years previous and another Confederate boat may also have sunk a Union warship in Mobile Bay.
