The Hunley on a Slow Roll-- Part 2

Two lab workers began ratcheting down each sling, one at a time. In the first hour, the submarine rotated about 2 degrees. By early afternoon, more than a dozen workers were stationed along the strap controls and the Hunley began moving about 4 milliliters at a time.

Shortly after 4:30 pm, worked came to a stop after the Hunley had moved some 200 milliliters and the sub now didn't look quite as wide as it had before and, it looked smaller.

There were several comments in the article, with several wondering how much this effort had cost taxpayers. One reply said that all money for the project had come from the Clemson University Restoration Institute, the South Carolina Hunley Commission and the Naval Historical Center.
