Official Site of the HunleyJust below the waterline - as bullets bounced off its cylindrical body, The H.L. Hunley plunged her long metal spar deep into the stern area, planting a 135 pound torpedo into the Warship Housatonic. The men inside the Hunley lunged forward from the impact, then quickly backed their sub out as the 150-foot attached detonation rope played out. Within seconds, the world rocked and every man, above and below, became enveloped in a concussion of destruction.
