On the night of 17 February, 1864, the Confederate Submarine H.L.Hunley attacked and sank the Union Sloop of War, the U.S.S. Housatonic, and became the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship in combat. The Hunley disappeared after signaling her success to Confederate positions on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. Her secrets remained lost until discovered in 1995, when her wreck was discovered and later raised for study and preservation by "The Friends of the Hunley". This very easy to build all resin model kit was created from first hand observations and archeological measurements to create a truly accurate and magnificently finished piece for display.

Scale is 1/72. Length 11.50". Kit number #72-001. $29.95 each
