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.
It’s a strategic point
I’d place a cannon there
~~actually a shitload of cannons~~
I remember reading something bout the confederates trying to get the British and the rest of Europe to intervene
They did but failed
England and the rest of Europe just simply switched to buying from Egypt
yeah, because the deal they had with the CSA was if you can break through the blockade we can further assist you in your campaign, however this wouldnt happen as the Union by then had the superior naval force even when Ironclads cropped up first with the CSA
Whoa that's a thicc boi
Indeed
Nice

I answered four strokes, he had the same question in #guns, your pic there is I think a 15in Rodman which is a Smoothbore cannon.
