Confederate Submarine Attraction in SC Reopens

From the June 19, 2021, U.S. News & World Report  from AP.

The doors to a Confederate submarine on display in North Charleston, South Carolina, fully opened yesterday after being shut down by the you-know-what.

The grand opening of the Hunley, the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship, will be marked with the launch Saturday of a new visitor experience that uses "cutting edge digital animation, live footage and a light show to tell the submarine's story according to officials at the site.

"We were  able to greatly enhance our  visitor experience while we had to keep our doors closed," said Friends of the Hunley Executive Director Kellen Butler.

The Hunley and her 7,500 square feet of associated exhibits are in a conservation laboratory.  The operating hours are  Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm.  Preplanned school and group tours are  available during the week.
