     Conservation is painstaking ten years after its raising.  Havent removed all of the mud yet , still conducting the process that will stablise the iron and make the wreck sturdy enough to display.

     The Hunley's third crew was interred more than a century after climbing into the iron chamber that had already killed two crews.

      Committment like this is fascinating , even though it made little diffrence in the length or outcome of the war.
