Description
I in baton Rouge, Louisiana for a few days at my son's house so that why I did not post much and will not post intill next week.
I went to the Louisiana State museum and it is free so go there and it be good. i went thought it in 2 hours as it is not that big.
They had this real civil war submarine there they find in Lake Pontchartrain near the mouth of bayou St. John in New Orleans in 1878. No one knows how it got there or the name of the sub.
May people thought it was the CSS Pioneer intill in 1998 the sketches of the CSS pioneer was discovered sand the people saw it was not even closet to this submarine at all. So the mystery remains.
As you see my son closet to the sub in the photo it is not big at all.

Great shots of this amazing underwater vessel that presents lots of questions.There is so much out there that we don't know about or understand.
Curious submarine indeed! Beautiful capture!
Great capture of this awesome sub!!
Cool and interesting photoshot my friend.
what an interesting bit of history.maybe someday they will find out the source
It's called a prototype and it failed that's why it was at the bottom of a lake. There were many attempts at designs that failed. Excellent captures! :)
CAn you imagine being trapped inside that, Jocko?
Interesting images! Great shot! :)
Excellent story and capture, Jock!!!
great capture
Excellent work!!!
Wonderful and very creative work
Cool collage of the boilerplate undersea craft, Jock. The environment inside that boat must not have been very comfortable.
A fascinating machine and bit of history, Jock! In the second photo it appears to have a propeller - or screw in nautical terms - on the end to the right. I don't think I'd like to be the guy that piloted this thing...
Just amazing to see that part of history and capture it. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome capture Jocko, marvelous work!
Mysterious machine. The design is interesting and seems functional. Great find!!
I have read a lot about those old submarines. Fascinating. The very first (in wood), was refused by Napoleon the first, as wrong for a "classical" war against english vessels.
Ace photo Jock :)
fantastic capture
Great photo of a mysterious sub!Wonderful capture !

These are great shots Jock. I have heard that both the North and South had started to build a submarine.
Definitely a cool image, Jocko! Love the 2 story display here of the mysterious looking sub... wonder where its been and what its seen.. hmm.... Well done!
Excellen capture!! It must have been unpleasent to be inside uder the surface of the see...

That's amazing. And it must have been man-powered.
Oh, they have finally found it. I no longer knew where I had left it ... LOL I find really great!
