I lived, as a child, on the island near where the Hunley sank.
In 2000, we sat on the beach and watched them lift it out of the water with binoculars.
It was odd, then. But now I’m grateful for the chance to have seen it. A beach which is now one of the top vacation destinations in the US was once a good spot to watch the first submarine sink.
It was odd, then, too.
