Answer

The Hunley case was an investigation into the sinking of a Confederate submarine during the American Civil War. The Hunley was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship, but it also sank with its crew of eight. The wreck of the Hunley was discovered in 1987, and Owsley was one of the archaeologists who studied the excavation.
