Sure does look like it
60 or 70 years later give or take
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
I think 100 pound is for the weight of the shot
Or something I’m not sure
^ 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
