Interested in another wonderful Civil War book? The Story of the H. L. Hunley and Queenie's Coin by Fran Hawk is a true tale of the world's first combat submarine, a Confederate submarine. Spoiler alert: it sank in 1864, but what a history it had before its sinking! It took explorers over 70 years to find the Titanic in her watery grave, but guess how long it took to find and raise The H.L. Hunley -- 136 years! Wow! She was finally raised from the ocean floor near Charleston, South Carolina, in 2000, is being cleaned and preserved, and is now on display in South Carolina. What a piece of history! Click the link to hear the true story of the H. L. Hunley and her brave crew members.
