On the night of February 17th, 1864, the Confederate submarine HL Hunley attacked and sank the Union sloop-of-war USS Housatonic and became the first submarine in history to sink an enemy war ship in combat. The Hunley disappeared after signaling her success to Confederate positions on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. Her secrets remained lost until 1995 when her wreck was discovered, and later raised for study and preservation by the "Friends of the Hunley".
