A confederate submarine was raised from the ocean in 2000. It is kept in this tank to preserve it

The barnacle/mud buildup that attached to the old iron is referred to as concrete. They are slowely removing it. The top looks good in this pic.

The first time it sunkin 1863 it had 5 crew, the second time 15 crew. Charleston was so eager to break the blockade they tried a 3rd time and was able to sink the ship the USS Houstonac, the first ever by a submerged vessel!. No Yankee ingenuity here as is was southern engineered :)

The crew manually powered the crankshaft attached to the propeller.
