The watershed event in our country's experience witnessed the first strategic use of railroads, the telegraph, crude machine guns, iron ships and a host of other "firsts." It also beheld the first sinking of an enemy ship by a submarine. The CSS Hunley's success off Charleston, South Carolina against the USS Housatonic is well documented. What has never been written of before, however, is that the little ill~fated Hunley was but one of a large number of operational Civil War submarines. Author Mark Ragan has spent years mining manuscript repositories. What he has discovered is nothing short of revolutionary. Contrary to popular belief, information contained in recently discovered contemporary letters, reports, diaries, telegrams, factory records, and log books confirm that both large and small submarines were fabricated and launched by both sides. Federal submarines were built and tested in Newark, New York, and Philadelphia, and utilized in Hampton Roads, the James River, and off Charleston, South Carolina. The Federal government even set up a committee to determine which submarine proposals were sound enough to pursue. Private citizens also built and launched operational underwater boats in the Great Lakes region and in the Delaware River. Below the Mason~Dixon Line, Confederate subs were launched in almost every large Southern coastal and river city, from Houston and Galveston, Texas, to Richmond, Virginia. In addition to the Hunley's nocturnal assault against the Housatonic, Southern submarine attacks were launched in Hampton Roads, New Orleans, Mobile Bay, and elsewhere. In all probability, a Richmond~built submarine lies today with her crew near the mouth of the James River after a failed attack against a Federal warship. Most of these experimental boats, North and South, failed to meet expectations and several proved fatal to their operators. Some, however, were so advanced in their design they boasted functioning lockout chambers which enabled divers to leave their vessel and operate under the keels of unsuspecting enemy ships. Others experimented with air purification systems, crude periscopes, underwater lights, self~propelled torpedoes, underwater cannon, electric batteries, and steam power. Union and Confederate Submarine Warfare in the Civil War is a ground breaking study that rewrites both naval and Civil War history.
