Confederate Sub Hunley May Move from North Charleston
From the August Charleston (SC) Post and Courier "Confederate sub Hunley may move from North Charleston to Mount Pleasamdt" by Robert Behre.
It has been almost two years since the Confederate submarine Hunley was raised from the water but it is now unclear where its final resting place will be. It is in North Charleston, S.C., right now, but may end up at Patriot's Point naval and maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant.
In 2004, after two years of jockeying, the city of North Charleston beat out Mount Pleasant and Charleston as the planned site for the Hunley Museum, partly because North Charleston pledged $13 million toward its construction.
