| The Confederates' submarine that managed to sink a ship and then was never heard from again until they found it in 1995. Kind of a cool story, kind of a lame tour. |
 |
| No pictures allowed of the real thing, but this is what it was probably like inside. They made it go by cranking it kind of like a group of rowers would. Three different times it sank and killed the people inside. |

| This is roomier than the real thing. |
 |
| Where it began and for us where it ends. The last stop. |

 |
| Clean-shaven and looking sharp. Ready to learn about some Union soldiers getting blasted by Rebels. |
 |
| Whoa! We have seen a bunch of artillery on the trip, but these things were the biggest by far. |
 |
| There is a hole in the wall ahead where they could stick the weapon out to fire across the harbor. |
 |
| Seriously?!? |
