A 22‑year‑old's government‑recorded coordinates led to an empty ocean floor
In this episode, we follow the sequence that began when a twenty-two-year-old diver reported finding the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley off South Carolina and submitted coordinates that federal agencies accepted. The story traces the dive report, the National Park Service nomination, and the baffling dives to the recorded location - so why was the site empty?
Person: E. Lee Spence
Event: Reported discovery of H.L. Hunley
Date: 1970 (diver surfaced and reported)
Date: September 13, 1976 (NPS used coordinates to nominate site)
Date: December 29, 1978 (Nomination approved)
Location: Off the coast of South Carolina
- At twenty-two, Spence dove the waters off South Carolina, mapped a position he said was the Hunley, and submitted those coordinates to government agencies.
- The National Park Service used Spence’s coordinates to nominate a site to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
- In 1978 the nomination was approved and the site became a federally protected historic landmark based on the recorded coordinates.
- The Hunley had sunk in 1864 after attacking the USS Housatonic and remained physically absent from the seafloor for 106 years despite repeated searches.
- Divers later visited the exact government-recorded location and encountered an empty ocean floor where the Hunley had been recorded.
