Top 10 (or so) most wanted photo sets:

Below is a list of cannons that I don’t think I’m likely to be able to visit in the near future. If you have photos of them (or live close by and can take photos), I’d be delighted to share them on this site.

  1. The 15-Inch Dahlgrens preserved as a monument to John Ericsson in Filipstad, Sweden

  2. The 11-inch Dahlgrens of USS Kearsarge currently stored by Naval History and Heritage Command in Richmond, VA

  3. The 11-Inch Dahlgren displayed by the flagpole at the Arizona National Guard Headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

  4. The 11-Inch Dahlgren (and 9-Inch Dahlgrens) at Naval Station Great Lakes. One of the Dahlgrens is just outside of the main gate. I do not know where the others are.

  5. The Hong Kong 15-Inch Dahlgren

  6. The 32-Pounder and 42-Pounder Naval Cannons at Fort Pike, Louisiana. (Fort Pike is generally closed to the public. However, there are occasional special events there - at least as of last year.)

  7. The 9-Inch Dahlgrens and 6.4-Inch Brookes from CSS Georgia under conservation at Texas A&M (which may also now be with Naval History and Heritage Command).

  8. The US Navy cannons at Mare Island (32-Pounder, 8-Inch Shell Guns, 9-Inch Dahlgren, 20-Pounder Bronze Breechloaders)

  9. 11-Inch Dahlgren Number 311 at Museo Tecnico Navale della Spezia (Italy)

  10. The 10-Inch / 30 Caliber Guns of USS Maine in Havana, Cuba.
