Turner backs Hunley recovery with name and money hope
Media magnate Ted Turner will lend his name to the Hunley recovery effort and may star in a film about the Confederate submarine. Officials seek up to 10 million dollars to raise restore and display the Hunley discovered off Charleston in 1995 after sinking the Housatonic in 1864. The project aims to raise private donations with corporate support and will display Conrad Wise Chapman's 1863 painting at the Charleston Museum before moving to Columbia and other South Carolina venues.
