Students build Hunley lantern replica

A group of Hamburg Area High School students are working to solve a mystery that's nearly 150 years old. Two witnesses reported seeing a blue light in the waters off Charleston, S.C., when the submarine H.L. Hunley attacked Union ships. It is speculated the Hunley's lantern cast that light, so the researchers have asked the Pennsylvania students to re-create and test a working lantern replica. • Article
