Replica of Civil War sub stuck beside interstate

ATLANTA (AP) - March 30, 2012

The full-sized replica of the H.L. Hunley suffered only minor damage Thursday, but owner John Dangerfield returned to Charleston because of trailer problems, said Kellen Correia, executive director of the Friends of the Hunley.

The Hunley was the first sub to sink an enemy warship.

Dangerfield is a veteran Hunley project volunteer who built the replica from a model used in a TV movie about the Civil War sub. One side is open to view where the crew sat.

Dangerfield is selling it and wanted to show it one last time at Shiloh.
