You should know this already God
Ik
Just saying
Hot
Union siege cannon. Looks king of similar no?
Sorta
But barrel length doesn’t match
More compensating
that one looks a bit fatter
also that one is too large
Yeah
got the right shape though
Like that ^
the back looks a bit different
Ye just to note, that is a 100 pound parrot rifle for reference
there was something that said 28 pound on the barrel
I think 100 pound is for the weight of the shot
^ that’s also a parrot rifle 100 pounds
This is from an auction but I think it’s the same gun
@obnoxiouswolf 2 again sorry for the ping. Just want to help. 😄
No
Nevermind. The barrel is to thin
But the shape is right
The Parrott had a 3-inch bore, which became standard military issue in the Union army after 1863.
Prior to this the Parrott had a 2.9-inch bore.
The gun also came in 20 and 32 pounder sizes.
^ from a website
the work were trying to do is to get a new stand for it because the old one has collapsed
Yeah I see. It’s resting on the ground. 😦
it almost looks like some type of naval gun or a fixed gun i don't think they really pushed it around it looks a little big but im not sure though
Yeah I was thinking it might be a naval gun. Cause I can definitely see it on the coast. It could be siege artillery but most of them were mortars and stuff. But if it were to be placed on a fort and pointed to the sea. Then they wouldn’t really need to move it
This image is from a naval fort
it may have been its not far from the Hudson river and a place where they used to make cannons
Ye then that would make sense
Hudson would have needed to been defended if the British(or confederates) managed to get that far.
