Came across this interesting exchange and invoice for the raising of an unknown CS Torpedo boat in Charleston and the removal of the crew and cleaning of the boat. It raises a few questions. I know that were over 20 of the David class boats built. The salvage company wanted 1/2 of the cost of the boat for their recovery efforts which seems high but I guess raising a boat back then was tough.
Which boat was this?
Who were the crew members who perished?
