The Exhibit Building has been designed to honor and explore the epic of the H.L. Hunley, the first submarine to sink an enemy warship.

Follow the Hunley's creation in an Alabama machine shop, its sea trials, combat, disappearance at sea in 1864, & the fabulous recovery off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina in 2000. The exhibit tells the story of the submarine, the men who manned her and the Civil War times in which her exploits have been memorialized.

Film, special effects, signage and graphics, murals, props, specially crafted exhibit cases, audio/video presentations, computer simulations & interactive attractions contribute to the unfolding story. A museum retail store provides unique submarine & tall ship replicas, books, custom soundtrack CD's, Civil War memorabilia, DVD's & much more.

Opened August 2004.
