5. I'm calling "imposter!1" on this O.P. n/t

6. is this about Muddy Waters?

Cause I know for a fact that the Cooper River is fricking muddy but, you can find huge shark teeth in the river bed. It helps to have a flashlight. It is really dark down there.

7. Mudbubble Brown, the old bluesman?

12. I am not rightly sure, maybe Hunley is his middle name.

[taterguy]

8. Shark teeth imply the presence of sharks

I think I'll pass.

[DFW]

10. No need to pass

The shark teeth are fossils from 60 million years ago.

The chances of you meeting up with any of their original owners alive are rather remote. I never heard of a shark living to be any older than 50 million years.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. yes, they are fossilized teeth. I got me one outta that thar ribber.

sho nuff did

9. The Hunley is there and I believe its been restored

I saw it 4 years ago while it was still in the salt water tank.

Very sad and eerie at the same time.

Very good museum.

[taterguy]

15. Did you read the f-ing thread?

Numerous other posters have suggested the Hunley.

Don't you think you're being a bit superfluous?

[jpak]

16. ummmm......I am fucking super and not fucking fluous

thank you very fucking much

yup

13. Now, this is particularly gruesome.

14. Using the "H" word again, are you?

The proper spelling is Hundley. Remember that.

Here is a picture of the C.S.S. Hundley.

17. You can get a confederate submarine at most sandwich shops in Charleston

YMMV elsewhere

[taterguy]

18. I'll tell them you sent me when I attempt to order one

[Wounded Bear]

19. Well, with global warming and all...

in a couple of decades, probably all of them will be sub-marine.

[taterguy]

20. In a couple decades I'll probably not be around either

[cwydro]

21. They're all underwater.

Or so I reckon.

[taterguy]

22. They? As in more than one?

I didn't know there was more than one Confederate sub.

What do you know about the other ones?

Please share with us.

[cwydro]

23. Well, see,

If you've heard about the "grey man of Pawley's Island," then you might know about the ghost subs.

[taterguy]

28. So SC has a fleet of subs manned by Confederate ghosts?

Yet another reason to avoid that hell hole.

If I ever have to drive to Florida again I'm going via Alabama.

[cwydro]

29. Bwahaha!

No the subs came from Mississippi

[taterguy]

30. There were no Confederate shipyards in Mississippi

Are you just fucking with me?

[cwydro]

33. i always assume you are messing around taterguy, lol

I only respond in kind.

I cannot IMAGINE Mississippi launching a sub lol!

[taterguy]

34. You do know that Mississippi currently makes more submarines than any other state don't you?

Except for Montana.

[cwydro]

35. Yeah, they've got the Huntington Ingalls shipbuilding yards there in Pascagoula.

I didn't know that about Montana however.

I thought Montana was known for dental floss.

25. The David is in Moncks Corner - 30 miles away.

Click the link and scroll down to the CSS sub.

26. The David was not a submarine.

CSS David operated as a semi-submersible: water was taken into ballast tanks so that only the length of the open-top conning tower and the stack for the boiler appeared above water.[1] Designed to operate very low in the water, David resembled in general a submersible submarine; she was, however, strictly a surface vessel. Operating on dark nights, and using anthracite coal (which burns without smoke), David was nearly as hard to see as a true submarine.[citation needed]

27. Very cool.

Did not know about this.

[GoCubsGo]

31. What would they be doing with a submarine in West Virginia?

[MerryBlooms]

32. Jackin' it.

[taterguy]

36. A lot of Civil War naval battles took place on inland rivers

But none that I know of in West Virginia.
