The Final Mission by Mort Kunstler - The Hunley is such an extraordinary vessel - so sophisticated-looking and advanced for its day. And the crew members - what exceptionally courageous Americans! As I stood there looking down at this famous American submarine, I was captured by the history, tragedy and adventure associated with the Hunley. So, when Senator McConnell asked if I would be interested in serving as an "Official Artist" for the H.L. Hunley -- I immediately accepted. The result is this painting - The Final Mission.
