| On the night of February 17, 1864 The CSS Hunley attacked and sunk the USS Housatonic. For reasons still unknown the Hunley sunk as well. The Hunley was raised on August 8, 2000 and has since been housed at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center where you can view the Hunley as it is being studied and preserved in the tank on the other side of the glass from the viewing platform. |
