点评:On the night of February 17, 1864, Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley sank the Union sloop USS Houstonic near Charleston Harbor, the first combat submarine to sink a warship in military history. But it never made it back to port, sinking in the harbor and killing all eight crewmen. The fate remained a mystery until the wreck was found in May, 1995. In the summer of 2000, it was raised and transported to the Warren Lasch Conservation Center at 1250 Supply Street on the Cooper River in North Charleston, in the old Charleston Naval Base. Today, it rests in a 75,000-gallon tank as scientists and archaeologists continue to study the circumstances that led to its sinking. Meanwhile, visitors can view the ship, see artifacts found during excavation, including tools, see facial reconstructions of the crew and even climb inside a scale model of the Hunley from 10 to 5 on Saturday and 10 to 3 on Sunday. What's to see? The ship's rudder, the captain's gold pocket watch and $20 gold coin, a hammer, pocket knife, lantern, canteen, Union ID tag, diamond ring, gold brooch, shoe, binoculars, oil can, silver suspenders, match stick, silk bandana and the bench that the crew sat on during their last voyage.
翻译:1864 年 2 月 17 日夜,邦联潜艇 H.L. 汉利号在查尔斯顿港附近击沉了联邦单桅帆船休斯敦尼克号,这是军事史上第一艘击沉军舰的作战潜艇。但它再也没有返回港口,而是沉没在海港,八名船员全部遇难。直到 1995 年 5 月残骸被发现,它的命运一直是个谜。2000 年夏天,它被打捞上来并运到位于北查尔斯顿库珀河补给街 1250 号的沃伦拉什保护中心,该中心位于旧查尔斯顿海军基地。今天,它被安放在一个 75,000 加仑的水箱中,科学家和考古学家继续研究导致它沉没的情况。同时,游客可以参观船只,观看在挖掘过程中发现的文物(包括工具),观看船员的面部重建,甚至还可以在周六 10 点到 17 点以及周日 10 点到 15 点期间爬进汉利号的比例模型内。有什么可看的?船舵、船长的金怀表和20美元金币、锤子、小刀、灯笼、水壶、工会身份牌、钻戒、金胸针、鞋子、双筒望远镜、油罐、银背带、火柴棒、丝绸头巾以及船员们在最后一次航行中坐过的长凳。
