While looking for something else, I ran across this brief mention of "Those Monster Guns" arriving at Charleston, SC in late August or early September 1863. What kind of cannon are being described that weighed 44,000 pounds, had a 13 inch bore, and a projectile weighing 651 lb "without the steel point."
