Vicksburg Model

[Forrest]

It is probably Battery number 12 with four guns located above and to the south of the Marine Hospital battery. In reality the battery was sited further south than is shown on the model but it seems to match the elevation and location of the town to the north ,

(I was attempting to quote this @Ptarmigan response in another thread, but it was over a year old and so I was not allowed to.)

Thus...another thread. Are there pictures available of other parts of this model? I'm particularly interested in how they depicted the Railroad Depot and environs.

It is battery #12, the Widow Blakely battery. It was located on Washington Street at Bowmar Ave.

You can still see pictures of the whole model on the Spithead miniatures Facebook site. You will need to scroll down to October 2022 though. Battery 12 was located up on the bluff just south of the Marine Hospital, the Washington street turnpike ran just behind the battery.
