Have you heard of the first submarine to sink an enemy ship in combat?

The HL Hunley was the pride of the Confederate, built to fight the Union’s blockade on the South during the Civil War.

During her time, she took three crews to a watery grave, was raised from the depths by scuba divers, and earned the nickname “The Iron Coffin”.
