Description

Scientists began excavating the inside of the U.S. Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley Monday. A team led by Robert Neyland raised the submarine from 27 feet (8 meters) of water off the coast of Sullivans Island, South Carolina in August. Experts believe the remains of the nine-man crew may be inside the submarine. They also hope that the excavation of the submarine will resolve the mystery of what caused it to sink. Read about the excavation in this National Geographic News article.
