The Hunley Is Free Of Truss

Via SHNV

The H.L. Hunley submarine could be seen for the first time after the metal truss which had covered it was removed. Part of the shroud protecting the propeller is missing. The two conning towers are visible on top of the sub. The forward conning tower hatch is on. Various sections of the hull were removed to facilitate excavation of the interior. Some gashes in the hull are believed to be postwar damage. (Scott C. Boyd)
