Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 22, 2007
Caption: Engineering Diagram of the Battery
Additional Description: Note the annotation of "30-pdr Rif Dalg Navy" and "24 smooth siege" on the lower left. The 30-pdr Rifled Dahlgren was a far different piece than the 9-inch smoothbore Dahlgren. So either the draftsman was indicating a change in naval supplied armament, or was confused as to the actual identification. The 24-pdr Siege could indicate either a standard Army siege and garrison gun or howitzer.
