HUNLEY SHIP LOG FOUND?    

  Previous E-Sylum issues have discussed the Hunley, the   
  Confederate submarine which sank in Charleston harbor   
  on February 17, 1864 (see vol 4, nos 22-24, May 27 -   
  June 10, 2001).    According to an Associated Press   
  story released September 29th, "X-rays revealed what may   
  be the captain's logbook in the muddy interior of the   
  Confederate Civil War submarine H. L. Hunley, which   
  was raised in 2000 after 136 years on the sea floor   
  outside Charleston harbor, scientists said yesterday."    

  "Hunley Commission chairman Glenn McConnell said the   
  team of archeologists who excavated the vessel hope the   
  log, once retrieved, will shed light on why the ship   
  mysteriously disappeared..."    

  For more information on the Hunley and its excavation,
