In that first picture it almost appears that the bottom of the boat had some sort of "windows" or small portals to look downward from. Was the Hunley equipped in such a way?
I see what you mean if your talking about the holes on both sides around the hatch . They are machined and were formed for a purpose so I'm wondering if they somehow functioned as a air release or ballast equalizer to open and close the hatch . Just a guess but they were designed for something if they were placed at that highpoint of the ship and on the hatches .
