Some of the Strangest Things on Earth That Are Only Found in the Deep Ocean

131 Years Later

The Hunley’s final mission was in February of 1864 and since then, the ship has been lost in the deep ocean. It took 131 years before it was found again in 1995, but the ancient vessel was rusty and falling apart. So, retrieval teams weren’t able to bring what remained of the ship back to the surface until 2000. But once it was safe, researchers started studying the ship to unravel its mysteries.
