After a long wait, I have returned to cover the story of the first successful (technically) military submarine the H.L. Hunley and the mystery of it’s sinking. Although it did kill a bigh fuck off warship, it killed 4x more operators than enemies and was most effective at sinking itself. For this video we have a first on the channel, input and interview clips from two leading experts on the Hunley, Dr Rachel Lance and Michael Scafuri. Please check their respective organizations and books below, they both have done excellent work with the topic and if you are interested in the Hunley they have a ton of material on it.
It’s been a long break, and I appreciate all the emails and comments I’ve gotten showing support and concern, but I have a lot planned and am looking forward to a lot more videos. Be sure to share this one around and I’ll see you soon on the next one!
