6.25-Inch Rifle captured aboard CSS Florida - displayed at the Washington Navy Yard
A British manufactured 6.25-Inch Rifle captured aboard CSS Florida is displayed at the Washington Navy Yard. According to John C. Reilly's "The Iron Guns of Williard Park", the breech is engraved with the words "32-Pdr Rifled from Anglo-Rebel Pirate Florida." The left trunnion is stamped "Low Moor, 10666".
This is an example of one of the cannons which would have been carried on broadside carriages aboard the Confederate Cruiser. One of the larger pivots of CSS Flordida, a 7-Inch Blakely Rifle, is also displayed at the Washington Navy Yard.
