Does anyone have a photo of one of these guns I can use? Only 12 were made, and it was based on the Dahlgren boat howitzer.
My Big Book of Cannons... There are 4 known survivors that might be available to the public, and perhaps someone got a shot of one of these:
Two 12-pdr (3.4-inch) Wiard boat howitzers are at the National Museum of the United States Navy in the Washington Navy Yard, D.C.
One is in Charleston, South Carolina (at the Charleston Rifle Club)
One is in Bellevue, Ohio, maybe privately owned, maybe on public property, I'm not sure.
I'm also looking for a good photo of the rifling in a wiard gun if you happen to have that!
