140th Anniversary of the loss of Hunley and Housatonic

[K Bartsch]

Exactly 140 years ago today, the Confederate submersible Hunley destroyed the federal sloop-of-war USS Housatonic off Charleston, thus changing naval warfare forever. Today might be a good time to pause and thank Providence for the courageous men aboard both vessels who laid down their lives for their country. May they rest in peace and honored glory.

Cordially,
