Vyzdvižení ponorky Hunley

More Brian Hicks, Schuyler Kropf / Raising the Hunley The Remarkable History and Recovery of the Lost Confederate Submarine (American Civil War). Adult/High School-The Hunley was all but forgotten until its retrieval in August, 2000. Resembling a fictional adventure tale, the book takes readers back to federally blockaded Charleston, SC. Without access to goods brought in by ships to the formerly bustling harbor, the South feared certain defeat. An idea to develop a small underwater ship that could evade detection as it delivered a torpedo to a Union blockade ship was offered as a wisp of hope by New Orleans lawyer Horace Lawson Hunley. Its development, however, was fraught with danger, and the first two test runs resulted in the deaths of 13 crew members. Finally, the sub was sent for its maiden voyage on February 17, 1864, whereupon it accomplished its task: it sank the Housatonic. Shortly after signaling the shore that it was about to return, it disappeared. The struggles to locate and retrieve the ship, spearheaded by author Clive Cussler, and the efforts to preserve it as a historical treasure trove, are nearly as fascinating as the story of its construction. The description of the Hunley's reentry into Charleston Harbor on August 8, 2000, before a cheering, saluting crowd of more than 20,000, is quite an emotional moment. Photos are mostly from the salvage and raising operation, with a few portraits of the crew included. Diagrams give readers a feel for the confines of the limited space within the submarine and the frightening conditions in which these men died. This exciting, well-done slice of history should have broad appeal. Carol DeAngelo, Kings Park Library, Burke, VA Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Anotace Příběh ponorky z dob války severu proti jihu. Obsah knihy je rozdělen na dvě zhruba stejně velké části. V první se autoři věnují vzniku a předcházejícím událostem ponorky Hunley, v druhé okolnostem jejího nalezení a vyzdvižení. Komentář Hunley byla první, které se povedlo to, co od ní stavitelé čekali: potopit nepřátelskou loď. Ponorka sama poměrně dost předběhla dobu, přestože před ní existovalo již několik ponorných člunů. V druhé části knihy autoři podrobně líčí všechny problémy spojené s vyzdvižením ponorky. Nejednalo se, přestože ponorka byla poměrně malá a ležela v hloubce necelých 10 m, o nic jednoduchého. Dále je čtenář lehce seznámen s velice zajímavou historií agentury NUMA, která se zasloužila o vlastní vyzdvižení vraku. Knihu lze doporučit všem, co se zajímají o historii podmořského válčení. Hunley, to byl vlastně počátek. Její vyzdvižení je příkladem neuvěřitelné náročnosti podmořské archeologie. |
