In 1864, eight Confederate volunteers sealed themselves inside the hand-cranked submarine *H.L. Hunley* and set out to break the Union blockade of Charleston—knowing the vessel had already killed 13 men in earlier tests.
They succeeded, becoming the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship, the USS *Housatonic*.
But the Hunley never returned, vanishing for 131 years beneath Charleston Harbor.
When the wreck was recovered in 2000, the crew was found calmly seated at their stations, with no signs of panic, flooding, or escape attempts.
Modern forensic and physics research suggests the torpedo’s blast sent a lethal pressure wave through the iron hull, killing the crew instantly without damaging the submarine.
This is the story of a perfect mission, a fatal invention, and the unanswered mysteries left behind in an iron coffin beneath the sea.
