1863: Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley arrives at Charleston, South Carolina by rail.
1865: Joseph Lister, British surgeon and scientist, performs first antiseptic surgery, using carbolic acid (phenol) as a disinfectant.
1887: Physicist and academic Erwin Schrödinger born. He will be awarded the 1933 Nobel Prize for Physics for the formulation of the Schrödinger equation.
1937: Astronomer and crime-fighter George Ellery Hale publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions, based on magnetic fields in sunspots, which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
