I may be obsessed with my HL Hunley gijinka….

this is especially weird if you consider the fact that I’m an avid Confederate hater and Hunley is a Confederate.

Watching a video about HL Hunley & my only thought is "ah yes, the Iron Lung from David Szymanski's cautionary tale Don't Create The Iron Lung"

HL HUNLEY: CIVIL WAR SUBMARINE

[clove-pinks]

Annnnd the doctor who only saws off mangled limbs ultimately triumphs!! tbh knowing tumblr I shouldn't be surprised. YOU voted for this.

I am sorry pikemen, you had a good run. Transgender soldiers are also represented well, important stakeholders in any current (or past?) civil war. Historically, and currently, the lines between GNC and trans are blurry.

I'm pleasantly surprised that so many of you are non-evil foreign arms traffickers, and we have a lot of small artisans eager to make the minié balls essential to a traditional American Civil War. People seem to be interpreting "corrupt bargainer" in all sorts of ways. I was riffing on moments in US history regarded as corrupt bargains (especially the compromise of 1877), but yeah, maybe it's a video game guy selling wares or sleazy deals in general. We need some corrupt bargainers to resolve this mess.

I personally voted for recipe blogger, another strong contender. Along with podcaster, I think it plays an important role in propaganda and celebrating regional cultures of the US. I'm imagining not only recipes but long-winded essays establishing the historical context, etc. Ideology at its tastiest!

Deathtrap submarine ended up in 5th place, but it had some enthusiastic support. Someone linked Caitlin Doughty's HL Hunley documentary in a reblog and I watched the whole thing. It's very compelling, and now I feel sorry for the Hunley crews tbh.

I've had this sitting in my drafts for a few weeks, as I thought it might be poor taste to make a jokey poll about a second (third? fourth??) USAmerican civil war; but my curiosity will not be denied!

"A Civil War submarine powered by hand cranks and lit by candlelight. What could possibly go wrong? Meet the HL Hunley. "

Another fascinating video by Doughty; this one goes into the recovery of the vessel and its' contents, which was very fascinating for myself. If you're interested in more of that sort of content, there are hundreds of wonderful videos documenting the finding, raising, and archeological interest of The Mary Rose; I've talked to a few of the archeologists themselves at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, really fascinating. Right now, at the Historic Dockyard, they have shipwrights repairing HMS Victory, whom you can earmark and ask questions all about restoring and maintaining wooden vessels, if that... 'Floats your boat' ... Har!

Being British, with interests that lean more towards the 'Napoleonic Era', I had really no clue that the American Civil War had included Naval Battles at all - that strikes as utterly surreal to myself. Oh well - certainly a fascinating watch - though, a tad claustrophobic in places - not for the feint of heart.

My mom said of the HL Hunley segment from Goods from the Woods: They get to call it redneck pompeii because they're from Alabama.

Today In History:

A bit of February 17th history…

In 1801, the U.S. House of Representatives broke an electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, electing Jefferson president; Burr became vice president.

In 1864, during the Civil War, the Union ship USS Housatonic was rammed and sunk in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, by the Confederate hand-cranked submarine HL Hunley in the first naval attack of its kind; the Hunley also sank.

In 1815, the United States and Britain exchanged the instruments of ratification for the Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812.

In 1865, during the Civil War, Columbia, South Carolina, burned as the Confederates evacuated and Union forces moved in.

In 1897, the forerunner of the National PTA, the National Congress of Mothers, convened its first meeting in Washington.

In 1933, Newsweek magazine was first published under the title “News-Week.”

In 1944, during World War II, U.S. forces invaded Eniwetok Atoll, encountering little initial resistance from Imperial Japanese troops. (The Americans secured the atoll less than a week later.)

In 1947, the Voice of America began broadcasting to the Soviet Union.

In 1968, the original Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, located on the campus of Springfield College in Massachusetts, was opened to the public.

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon departed the White House with his wife, Pat, on a historic trip to China.

In 1986, Johnson & Johnson announced it would no longer sell over-the-counter medications in capsule form, following the death of a woman who had taken a cyanide-laced Tylenol capsule.

In 1988, Lt. Col. William Higgins, a Marine Corps officer serving with a United Nations truce monitoring group, was kidnapped in southern Lebanon by Iranian-backed terrorists (he was later slain by his captors).

In 1996, world chess champion Garry Kasparov beat IBM supercomputer “Deep Blue,” winning a six-game match in Philadelphia (however, Kasparov lost to Deep Blue in a rematch in 1997).

ye old submarine. HL hunley sunk in 1864

it's so scary that ppl were using submarines in ww1 when we had barely figured out how submarines worked. even scarier that we used them in the CIVIL WAR....

El misterio del submarino H.L. Hunley

El H.L. Hunley fue el primer submarino de la historia en hundir un buque de superficie, el USS Housatonic. Este invento naval fue diseñado para romper el bloqueo marítimo que las fuerzas de la Unión, durante la Guerra de Secesión Americana, mantenían a los puertos de los Estados Confederados.

[unnecessarycraziness]

wait I figured it out!

a yellow submarine filled with books and art + nicely decorated aesthetic interiors, and my home base? Titanic, of course (I would also have to work on keeping her from deteriorating too badly, possibly by erecting a large glass and/or metal dome over the wreck and removing the water, additionally providing me space to walk around when I want to leave my submarine, but lots of maintenance work is just the price you have to pay if you live in the ocean)

Places that would be nice to move to:

Belfast, Northern Ireland

Cologne, Germany

Aoshima, Japan

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Vancouver, Canada

European countryside somewhere (probably in the UK but potentially Germany or Austria)

Cottagecore aesthetic locations

Barnes and Noble

A cool museum, like in that one book

A yellow submarine

RMS Titanic wreck

HL Hunley Memorial, CSA, Magnolia Cemetery, Mobile, AL. Hunley was a submarine of the Confederate States of America that played a small part in the American Civil War. The Hunley demonstrated the advantages and the dangers of undersea warfare. She was the first combat submarine to sink a warship, although the Hunley was not completely submerged and, following her successful attack, was lost along with her crew before she could return to base. The Confederacy lost 21 crewmen in three sinkings of the Hunley during her short career. It is currently housed at Warren Lasch Conservation Center in a 90K gallon fresh water tank awaiting restoration with new technology.
