Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 5, 2010
Caption: Marke and 20-pdr Parrott Rifle
Additional Description: The 20-pdr Parrott Rifle is a navy model. Note the "loop" at the breech, as opposed to the typical knob seen on army models. The loop was used for a heavy rope which restrained the gun when fired in the confined space on board ships.
