Rare Images of Civil War Found

[LincolnMan]

Speaking of a less important rare image of the Civil War, it has been discovered that due to storm activity in the Gulf of Mexico, the USS Hatteras is now visible to divers. The Union gunboat was sunk during a confrontation with the Confederate ship Alabama. It is in 57 feet of water-and until now has been embedded in muck. It is thought that the ship will be once again covered with sand in a very short time. The USS Hatteras was the only Union gunboat sunk in the Gulf of Mexico.
