Anybody know what this is? It's a full scale replica of a famous vessel. The wheels aren't part of the original.

I'd take a punt that it's the CSS Hunley.

In 1864, the CSS H.L. Hunley was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship in combat

The article says that the wreck was discovered in 1995. The shrimpers around Charleston have known where and what it was for decades. It was in the shrimping grounds outside of Charleston Harbor, and if you got too close, your nets would hang up on it. They always called it the submarine hang.
