"S-76", a 7-Inch Double Banded Brooke Rifle, has been displayed at "the Battery" at White Point Garden in Charleston, South Carolina since around 1900. It was cast at the Selma Naval Gun Foundry in 1864. The list of Selma-cast Brookes in Daniel and Gunter's Confederate Cannon Foundries states that the Brooke was cast at Selma on June 15th, 1864 and delivered to Charleston on September 19th, 1864.
Two other Selma 7-Inch Brookes, S-70 and S-74, were also sent to Charleston in the autumn of 1864.
I am not aware of this gun's service history during the war. A plaque...
