Excerpt from H. L. Hunley Site Assessment
It is important to observe that there were some predictable reactions resulting from Hunley's discovery and, therefore, some of the problematic issues that developed could have been resolved between agencies through early coordination and development of an administrative strategy for managing the shipwreck. Given the lack of a formal agreement between the State of South Carolina and the Department of the Navy (navy) or the General Services Administration (gsa) concerning exploration and administration of the submarine, it was inevitable that Hunley would become a controversial and highly politicized shipwreck. Some of Hunley's predecessors, whose discoveries and proposed recoveries have resulted in similar controversy, include the shipwrecks Alabama, Somers, Tecumseh, Hamilton and Scourge.
Despite problems occurring during 1995 and 1996, the major players were able to overcome their differences. Concerns for the submarine's safety and how to best manage it led to exceptional responses, resulting in state and federal cooperation in the management of Hunley. Over the course of negotiations concerning Hunley, the site became one of the most protected shipwrecks in the United States.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the United States Navy's involvement in the extensive search and recovery of the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley. Originally, the submarine was discovered by a group diving with Clive Cussler's National Underwater and Marine Agency in 1995. The federal government's involvement in the recovery process was complicated by political conflicts over property rights and the best course of action given the ship's degraded condition. The Navy eventually took control of the recovery and assessment process, which was conducted in conjunction with the state of South Carolina and the National Park Service. This book captures the challenges of assessing the submarine's condition as well as developing a viable recovery plan. The unique legal and political environment that surrounded the Hunley made this recovery particularly complicated. Beyond the practical concerns of the recovery, the author explores the historical context of the submarine and its crew's place in the American Civil War. The importance of preserving the submarine as a cultural relic is emphasized throughout the book, as it offers a unique insight into the hardships and horrors of war and provides a rare opportunity to study the development of naval technology during that era.
