From the August 6th Sun News of South Carolina "South Carolina scientists to rotate 23-ton Confederate sub" by Bruce Smith, AP.
In North Charleston, people working on the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley will be carefully rotating the vessel to an upright position early next year. This will expose a section of hull that has not been seen as of yet.
When it was found, the submarine was on its side and has been left in that position.
Scientists still do not know why it sank after successfully sinking the USS Housatonic.
HUNLEY REPLICA
I see that a replica of the Hunley will be at the Battle of Brimfield this weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts.
