A conservationist sprays water on the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship, in a conservation tank at a lab in North Charleston, S.C. on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015. Scientists have just completed a year of painstaking work to remove the encrusted sediment and rust from the outer hull of the submarine. But they say cleaning the hull provided no smoking gun as to why the hand-cranked submarine sank in February of 1864 after sinking a Union blockade ship off Charleston, S.C. They say the mystery may not be solved until the sediment visible inside the sub is removed. (AP Photo/Bruce Smith)
