Secrets of a Civil War Submarine
I've just read a great book for kids and anyone interested in naval history. It's Secrets of a Civil War Submarine, Solving the mysteries of the H.L. Hunley by Sally M. Walker (Minneapolis, 2005).
The H. L. Hunley was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship and it has been buried beneath the ocean's floor for more than one hundred years. The book tells how the submarine ended up in Charleston Harbor and how archaeologists painstakingly recovered it.
