Default Hunley - the beginning

I did a short video on the Hunley today on my channel. Link below (plug lol) I like to put in a little history in my channel along with actual game play. Honestly it's an interesting story, by Clive Cussler who actually found the Hunley on an expedition with NUMA, (National Underwater Marine Agency)The same NUMA talked about in his books.

Did anyone notice the shroud around the Hunley's propeller? Was it innovation or coincidence? It was to protect the propeller of course, but the inventor stumbled on the propulsor system, still used today. In any case what brave crews manned this boat!

I read recently historians have decided the crew were killed by their own torpedo explosion.

If the anarchist revisionists had their way, no one would be permitted to learn anything about the Hunley.

Yes that is true, about the explosion killing the crew. It's well known. This video is NOT about that.

But this video was made before the determination of the cause of death. This is a video about the man who actually found the Hunley ( Clive Cussler) and then was shoved in the background immediately by the powers that be who took over the raising of the boat. In fact Clive was forbidden to further dive on the boat by the Navy after he discovered it.

While I appreciate the thread, doesn't this belong on the general board?

You confuse me with the term "NAZI". Who said that?What does that mean? It was a war between the states

I'm just a small You tuber who loves posting videos that I hope everyone enjoys here.. I took down the Hunley Video cause somebody labeled it as copyrighted even though it's old public video., and I only used parts of the public documentary. I figure it was a hate move to try to get me in trouble for mo reason.. by the way it was not a copyright strike confirmed by YouTube. I don't understand why someone would do that. The "NAZI" reference makes no sense and was sad.
We are all here to have fun.

I love this game and I want to promote it in any way I can. By the way check out my new welcoming video.

Thanks but the posts are still here. Sorry for the last one I think I mis-read something it was too bizarre of a post I was responding too. I'll let the MODS handle it from now on.
