For the Confederacy necessity was indeed the “mother of invention.” On this day 150 years ago, naval history was forever changed. At this gathering we’ll follow the Hunley’s incredible story from inception to the fateful night in February of 1864 when the vessel became the first submersible to sink an enemy ship in warfare.
