“The submarine is now housed at the Warren Lasch
Conservation Center in North Charleston, South Carolina, where visitors are
invited to 'solve the mystery' at the end of their tour. The museum exhibits
offer four theories: (1) that the torpedo damaged the hull and sank the boat,
(2) that the crew was somehow trapped inside, (3) that the submarine collided
with another object and sank, or (4) that a lucky shot fired from the crew of
the Housatonic struck the
captain.”
Remains of the crew members,
though, indicate all died while seated at their stations.
Naval engineer Rachel Lance notes:
“The author Kurt Vonnegut once spoke in an interview about his
time in the military in Germany during World War II, right after the
firebombings that devastated Dresden. His job had been to excavate the bomb
shelters and basements to remove the rotting corpses before the entire city
started to stink of human putrefaction. The people he found had usually died without
moving, without any signs of struggle, and were often still seated in their
chairs. They were not outwardly wounded; they were not blown wildly across the
room.”
Lance’s research led her to a conclusion different than what has
been suggested in previous works.
