Hunley Restoration in Charleston First Successful Combat Submarine. While RVing in Charleston SC we visited the HL Hunley conservation and restoration project at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center. It is definitely one of the most interesting destinations of our travels. We hope you enjoy this video of our visit. Please leave us a comment.

The HL Hunley is a civil war confederate submarine built in 1863. It was propelled by a hand cranked propeller and held a crew of one officer and seven volunteers. The Hunley sank three times during its short career.
On February 17, 1864, the Hunley destroyed the Union sloop Housatonic outside Charleston Harbor using a sparmounted torpedo loaded with 135 pounds of gunpowder. The Hunley rammed the Housatonic to embed the torpedo in her hull and then reversed course while the lanyard connected to the torpedo fuse tightened and detonated it. The Housatonic sank immediately. The Hunley also sank and was lost until 1970. She was finally recovered in 2000.
The conservationrestoration of the HL Hunley is currently being undertaken by the Warren Lasch Conservation Center. A dedicated team of conservators have been working to restore the Hunley. Once the Hunley's restoration is complete it will be relocated to a new museum built in its honor on the former Navy base in North Charleston. Currently visitors can tour the conservation center laboratories and can view the Hunley in its 75,000gallon tank.
