There was an excellent article in the Washington Post this morning about the raising of the Hunley and some of what they found inside. The finding of the $20 gold piece on the body of Lt. George E. Dixon (from Mobile, AL), and the dog tags of a dead Union soldier (Ezra Chamberlin of the 7th Connecticut Infantry) on the body of one of the Confederate sailors is quite remarkable.

The story can be read at : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37155-2001/Jul9.html.
