Hunley - the beginning

GeneralGamer · 09-30-17, 09:27 AM

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.

This is about a different topic than the one you want to merge it with.. Why merge it into some other non related discussion? Nothing in my video was about WHAT killed the crew. It was about the History of the boat and who found it..watch the video before making a judgement call on it's content please.

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

That's my mistake. Sorry I messed up. I feel like I lawn darted.

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.
