The commission has spent about two years deciding where to build a 40 million dollar museum to display the vessel. It voted 7-2 to locate the museum in North Charleston. The Confederate submarine sank with its crew of eight in 1864 after sinking a Union blockade ship off Charleston. The Hunley was raised in 2000 and brought to a conservation lab. The panel had considered Charleston and Mount Pleasant. But North Charleston won out by offering 13 million dollars to fund the museum on the banks of the Cooper River. The state Legislature still must approve the recommendation of the commission. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Charl would need to improve the approach to the base to make it more appealing, plus as historic as the Hunley is I don't think it can stand on it's own as a tourist draw. The logical place would have been P. P., but all logic was thrown out the window and greed prevailed.
