A New Clue to the Sinking of the Hunley-- Part 3

 Last year, researchers at Duke University proposed that the Hunley's crew might have been killed instantly by the blast from the submarine's spar-mounted torpedo.

But, experts say they are still not near determining the actual cause of the crews' deaths.  And, it is very possible that they will never find out what happened in the Hunley on that night.

In the meantime, they will continue removing more of the corrosion and underwater matter from all that time on the sea bottom.

What's more, scientists are finally beginning to get a handle on the inner workings of this thoroughly analog piece of military technology.
