Paperback. Etat : 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528024938_0
