Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. In early 1864, a handful of Confederate sailors boarded the experimental submarine "Hunley" and let it sink to the bottom of the harbor off Charleston, South Carolina, for an extended submerging test. A candle served as their only means of telling when their oxygen supply was low; after 25 minutes, it's flame would burn no more. The hatch covers could not be lifted because of the water pressure. Four crews, the men knew, had already perished aboard the deadly vessel. Fighting panic, the sailors began turning the manual cranks that drove the propeller--the "Hunley's" only means of propulsion. It was a harrowing 2 hours before they reached the surface. Weeks later, the "Hunley" destroyed the USS "Housatonic" in history's first submarine attack, though it's unfortunate crew died in the moment of glory. Such acts of uncommon bravery are the subject of this book. The bibliography, Acknowledgement, and Index appear at the back of the book.
