During the American Civil War, why did the submarine Henry sink to the bottom of the sea three tim

Because the "Henry" is an artificial submarine converted from a boiler, the first two times it was not technically up to par, and the third time it sank to the bottom of the sea due to improper command.

Because"Henry"There was an accident at the beginning of the first dive, and another accident occurred the second time when the submarine was still on the surface due to a problem with the design of the submarine; The third time everything was normal, but due to improper command, it finally sank to the bottom of the sea.

Because this "Henry" submarine was actually modified from a boiler, its own technology was not up to par, so it went through three sinking events before it was finally successfully improved and put into normal use.

Because the submarine was remodeled with boilers, there were many places where it was unreasonable, coupled with the mistakes of the command, it sank to the bottom of the sea many times.

Before the Henry was due to embark on a second expedition, Horace-Henry persuaded the Navy** to use someone from Montbell who was familiar with submarine operations to pilot the Henry. So the Henry went straight to the Parks & Lyon Mechanical Factory in Montbelle, where he selected a group of new men to take control of the Henry, including Thomas Parks, the son of the co-owner of the machine shop, and the others were workers from Montbell or the mechanical works. Even then, the experience of these new crews did not come in handy.

On October 15, 1863, the Henry sank again during a routine dive exercise. The eight crew members of the ship, including Herris Henry himself, were not spared. Even though Horace himself was directing the operation of the submarine, he still failed to unite the crew.

What remains unclear is why he was at the tail rudder during the second dive. Once again, the Confederates managed to salvage the Henry from the bottom of the sea. When the divers reached the bottom of the sea, they were surprised to find that the Henry was stuck headlong in the mud on the bottom of the sea, at an angle of 30 degrees to the plane of the seabed.

The American Civil War was a painstaking revolution and a dramatic and far-reaching cultural change that not only changed the country forever, but also the form of the war. Between 1860 and early 1861, the Southern states voted to secede from the Union**. In April 1861, after the Confederates seized the strategically important maritime fortress Fort Sumter, Abraham Lincoln ordered the troops of the Northern Union to bombard and blockade important southern forts and ports.

In early 1864, South Carolina was in the middle of the American Civil War, and the land was under heavy bombardment by the Northern Union, and the sea lanes were tightly sealed by the Northern Union fleet. The exchange between the Confederation and Great Britain was greatly hindered, and the arms were also affected, and there was a big shortage. They must find ways to break the naval blockade of the Northern Alliance on the port of Charleston.

They pinned their hopes for the accomplishment of this great task on a new type of secret, the "submersible torpedo boat" known as the Henry. As early as 1861, both the North and the South were developing their own submarines, while the research of the Northern Union was progressing relatively slowly, because the Southern Union needed a quick and powerful ** to turn the tide of the war, and at the same time, people in several coastal cities of the Southern Union were very interested in developing submarines, and the South soon came to the forefront of submarine development.

In 1861, the American Civil War broke out. At the outbreak of the war, the navy of the north and south had a total of 42 ships of various types, but the navy of the north had a clear advantage. In view of this situation, the Southern Navy had no choice but to borrow the submarine design plans and drawings left behind by Fulton, the "originator of the American submarines," to build several submarines.

In February 1862, after the trials of two prototype submarines, the "Henry" was successfully launched and immediately sailed to the front.

In 1863, the Henry had successfully tested the waters, and in August of the same year, the Henry was transported to Charleston. At this time, people have learned about the power of this mysterious **, and it is expected that this mysterious dive** can break the blockade of the Northern Alliance. However, the Confederate army believed that the builders of the Henry, Horace Henry and Singer Cowpes, were nothing more than engineers and successful businessmen who had no military experience, no knowledge of naval warfare, and certainly did not know how to handle such a lethal power, so they handed over the Henry to the Navy.

Since then, the Henry has been on its bumpy journey.

Lieutenant George Dixon saw that he had accurately hit the enemy ship, so he hurriedly ordered his eight crew members to change direction and sail away from the combat area with all their might. But Dixon soon discovered that although their advance speed had reached the limit, the "Henry" not only did not withdraw from the war zone, but slowly approached the sinking "Monsatonic". In this way, Dixon and the other eight crew members of the submarine became the victims of the "Hausatonik" with the joy of victory after completing the attack, along with their submarine.

It wasn't until 1995 that it was discovered that the wreckage of the submarine was 1,000 yards from the incident site.
