We now have over 65 pages on the Hunley, a Confederate submarine torpedo boat, the ship she sank and other Civil War "torpedo boats" and submersibles located at http://www.pddoc.com/skedaddle/026a .

For genealogy research, there is a name-to-page index for the names of people, places, and ships in this section of our Skedaddle site.

While there are a lot of sites with material on the Hunley, it is our hope that these pages will provide a different perspective. As with almost all of our pages, that which is presented here is from the time of the civil war up to the end of the 19th century—the 19th century writings and art relating to the Hunley and the ship she sank.

Approximately monthly we publish a free e-journal, the third issue of which was just published. See http://www.pddoc.com/skedaddle/skedaddle-journal.htm

Additions to our site are made almost every day. We are constantly adding civil war material written or created in the 19th century. Our content includes incidents, poetry, anecdotes, photographs and drawings. As we add material to our site we record it in our Skedaddle Web Log, which is open to anyone to view at: http://pddoc.blogspot.com/
