Organizers say that will include re-enactors from the North and South. Organizers say biographies and pictures of the crew generated by computer will be released - two each day - in the days before the April 17th funeral. The Hunley was the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship. It sank off Charleston minutes after sinking a Union blockade ship in 1864. The Hunley was raised off Sullivans Island in 2000. Organizers expect a total of 30,000 people at the funeral which will include horse-drawn caissons, bagpipers and 50-gun infantry and artillery salutes. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press.
