The good folks at HMDB were out to Magnolia Cemetery in North Charlesron, SC, and took pictures of the marker dedicated to the crew of the H. L. Hunley submarine who died when the ship sank October 15, 1863, in a test run. This is not the crew who died during the successful attack on the USS Housatonic the next year.
The crew:
Horace L. Hunley (the inventor)
Joseph Patterson
Charles McHugh
John Marshall
Robert Brockbank
Tomas W. Park
Henry Beard
Charles L. Sprague
It is located in North Charleston, not too far from where the Hunley is now located.
Another marker inside the cemetery honors fallen South Carolinian Confederate generals:
Bernard Bee
Adley H. Gladden
J. B. Villepigue
Micah Jenkins
Abner Perrin
Maxcy Gregg
J. J. Pettigrew
Major General W. H. T. Walker
Cemetery of Honors. --Old B-Runner
