Description:

Photograph of a Tri-County Technical Education Center student dressed as a Confederate soldier standing next to the full-scale model of Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, on a flatbed trailer. It is parked in front of the USS Trigger (SS-564) at the Charleston Navy Base. Please contact the Museum's archives with any information on the identity of the student.

This image was taken during a detour to the Naval Base from the TEC location on Highway 52 to the basement of the Citizens & Southern National Bank building at 50 Broad Street. A gift from C&S to The Charleston Museum, the replica was housed and displayed in the Hunley Museum until 1981 when it was moved to The Charleston Museum's new location at 360 Meeting Street.
