My friend Jim Schoenung, a serious student of British artillery if ever there was one, put this composite image together and allowed me to share it. Bottom is what started it, an old stereo card of Boston Navy Yard ca. 1870's. Center is a drawing of Blakely 9-inch from Holley. Top is blown-up image of stereo card showing better detail.

How 'bout that ammo in the background, gimme just a few of those things please!
