EDITORS COMMENTS
This cross-section print depicts the historic Hunley, a man-powered submarine of the Confederate Navy, famously known as "David" in reference to the biblical underdog story of David and Goliath. Constructed in North Carolina during the American Civil War in 1863, the Hunley marked a significant milestone in naval warfare as the first submarine to sink an enemy vessel. The Hunley, designed by Horace L. Hunley and a team of dedicated engineers, was a revolutionary piece of military technology. Measuring just 11.4 meters (37.4 feet) in length and 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) wide, the submarine was powered by eight crew members who turned a large crankshaft, propelling the vessel through the water via a paddle wheel at the rear. The Hunley was armed with a torpedo, which was detonated by a timer or a pull cord when the submarine made contact with an enemy ship. The print showcases the intricate details of the Hunley's design, including the cramped quarters for the crew, the paddle wheel, and the torpedo tube. The hull was constructed primarily of iron, with a wooden frame and a conning tower made of pine. The submarine's innovative design allowed it to operate silently underwater, making it a formidable threat to Union naval forces. On February 17, 1864, the Hunley successfully sank the USS Housatonic, a Union transport ship, off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. Tragically, all eight crew members lost their lives during the attack. The Hunley remained undiscovered until 2000, when it was raised from the ocean floor and restored. Today, the Hunley is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Confederate engineers who designed and built it, and a reminder of the pivotal role submarines play in naval warfare.
