Product Description
――It is a Confederate submarine developed by the inventor Horace L. Hanley.
――The South Army was interested in the development and the development proceeded with assistance.
――Electric power was considered, but human-powered drive was adopted for simplification.
――It has a ballast tank and a human-powered pump is used for drainage.
――The attack was a method of hooking a depth charge equipped on the bow to an enemy ship and causing it to explode for a time.
--The operation was carried out in 1864 and succeeded in sinking the steamship Housatonic.
――This ship played a small role in the war as [the first submarine that sank an enemy ship in history], but it can be said that it played a great role in the history of naval warfare.
――But Hanley then sank with eight crew members, but was pulled up in 2000 and displayed as a memorial ship.
