Monday, February 17th will be the 150th Anniversary of the H.L. Hunley submarine’s historic, yet fateful attack against the Union’s U.S.S. Housatonic. The Hunley was the first combat sub to sink an enemy warship, but it also mysteriously sunk soon after the attack, killing the entire eight-man crew.
The wreckage was recovered on August 8th, 2000 and has been housed at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center (1250 Supply Street, North Charleston) ever since.
A group of events will be held over the coming weeks to celebrate the submarine’s historic day. Take a look at the schedule below:
Friday, February 14th
Saturday, Feb. 15th & Sunday Feb. 16th
Saturday, February 15th
