Summary
[edit]DescriptionHalifax DSC 1361 - I was big and bad, now I am just big. (3070754808).jpg |
English: This is a Rifled muzzle-loading gun. These guns were first built during the 1860's. They fired heavy, pointed shells designed to punch through the armour on the new ironclad warships.
These heavy guns are at York Redoubt National Historic Site of Canada . This 200-year-old fortification is situated on a high bluff overlooking the spectacular entrance of Halifax Harbour. York Redoubt's original batteries were built in 1793, at the outbreak of war between Britain and revolutionary France. When French warships were reported in the western Atlantic, harbour batteries were hastily erected to secure Halifax from attack by sea. Over the years the site was enlarged and strengthened. Edward, Duke of Kent made several improvements between 1795 and 1800. By the early 1860s, advances in artillery design had made the site obsolete. The rearmament of York Redoubt caused a complete reconstruction and enlargement of the site. Despite the dramatic changes in appearance, the role of the new Redoubt remained much the same as the old.
