Thousands of re-enactors in Confederate gray and Union blue marched in a funeral procession a mile and a half long.  The remains of the crewmen were in coffins draped with Confederate flags and pulled on horse-drawn caissons.  The coffins were laid in a common grave and placed in the order which the crew sat on the hanDCranked submarine in a plot along the Cooper River.  After a bugler sounded Taps, the descendants of the crewmen or designated representatives filed past and threw a rose on each coffin.  Saturday's ceremony has been called the last Confederate funeral. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2004 WCIV, LLC.
