Trying to remember, but on either the USS Franklin or the Bunker Hill, they used 4 undamaged jeeps from the Hanger Deck to help clear the debris following crippling kamikaze attacks, so the Jeep gets to stay!!!!

Mike, Truly wonderful scene. So human. Reflective image on the water is a very nice touch!!!

32-Pounder to the Left and 18/24-Pounder to the Right I think you can see the difference in overall barrel thickness between the two guns. The 32-pounder is also a tad longer 9.5 feet versus 9.0 feet for the 18/24 Pounder. These are the correct barrel lengths. In the below Photos, the...

In late November 1944, following the Battle of Leyete Gulf, the Bunker Hill was sent stateside for a refit (Bremeton Navy Yard, Puget Sound, Washington). Her Air Group was replaced. The Bunker Hill returned to the Pacific in 1945. In May 1945, the Bunker Hill suffered horribly from a kamikaze...

https://youtu.be/I-yFpGSDnsM You-tube video, there are two other companion videos to this one, but you can get an idea about the size of the guns here. Worst part, these guys are firing on my old neighborhood of Washington Heights.

From the French Frigate, the Hermione (Below) From the U.S.S. Constitution (Below)

For Louisbourg and Quebec, the cannon would have been taken directly off ships. For the Lake George/Lake Champlain Campaigns, the cannon would have been transported up the Hudson River by boat probably all the way to Fort Edward, about 12 - 15 miles south of Fort William Henry. From Fort...

So the barrel lengths without the cascable should be between 3.6 inches (9.0 feet) and 4.0 inches (10 feet), depending on the barrel being rendered. Adding in the Cascable. the guns will be even be longer. These are not peashooters and the cannon will dominate the figures. Cannon ball...

You guys have no idea how, how happy this makes me!!!!

A 32-pounder should have a barrel length of 9.5 or 10 feet; a 24-pounder = 9 or 9.5 feet and an 18-pounder = 9 foot. For miniature collectors, gun identification might be best done by the barrel diameter at the fuse vent, not the barrel length ---- around these values for our 60 mm scale...

Woot!! Woot!!! Finally, the Cannon have arrived!!! These are naval and garrison cannon. The sculptured guns appear to be based on Armstrong-Fredrick Pattern. These guns would be in use for much the remaining 18th Century and into the Napoleonic Era. I believe the 32-pounder is slightly...

Rather see the Battle of Leyete Gulf (1944). Downplayed, but both the best and worst moments in the entire history of the U.S. Navy. Bring the hankies.

Very old Thread, but see Photo in Post 1 and then 17 or 18. I much prefer the Howard Miller, large Curio. Much wider and deeper than other manufacturers. Heavy though, no chance of tipping. The additional depth is great to have. Expensive nearing two thousand dollars per case now with...

Very nicely done!!!

Some documents related to Siege Fort William Henry. Lt. Collins commanded the artillery in the Fort. Collin's List here does not fully cover the Entrenched Camp which included two additional brass 12-pounders and two additional brass 6-pounders. A Return of the Ordnance at the Time of the...

Yes, the figures on Tab 1 and Tab 2 would be the from the Last of the Mohicans. The Fort could only hold 400-500 men (20% of the British Force). The vast majority of the British Forces were in entrenched camp 700 yards to the southwest (1,800 men - 80%). Colonel Monro was in the entrenched...
