EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed diagram of the H. L. Hunley, an extraordinary Confederate submersible that made history by becoming the first submarine to sink an enemy ship during the American Civil War in the 1860s. The drawing, believed to be crafted by William A. Alexander, provides a cutaway view of the vessel's interior and offers a glimpse into its innovative design. The illustration reveals both a side view depicting the crew and a top view of this remarkable craft. However, upon raising the submarine from its watery grave in 2000 (after sinking in 1864), it was discovered that there were actually eight men aboard instead of nine as depicted in this artwork. Intriguingly, this image transports us back to an era when technological advancements were pushing boundaries even amidst conflict. It highlights various elements such as steering mechanisms and pumping systems within the vessel while also showcasing the brave individuals who operated it. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are reminded not only of its significance but also of how far naval transportation has come since then. This fascinating pencil drawing serves as both a representation and testament to human ingenuity during one of America's most turbulent periods—the American Civil War—and continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details even today.
