Caption: Sling Cart and 30-pdr Parrotts
Additional Description: An exhibit at Fort Pulaski. Artillerists used sling carts to maneuver heavy guns into position, particularly where soft ground inhibited movement of the siege carriage. To the left and right of this display are 30-pdr Parrott rifles. These MAY be earmarked for placement in the Battery Park display at a future date. In the center is a 6-pdr Model 1834 Field Gun.
