• sixpounder said:

  One of the gigantic 20 inch cannons designed by Rodman is visible at the far right, perhaps mounted on a railroad carriage. Total length of barrel, 243.5 inches; weight, 116,497 pounds, fired a 1,080 pound ball. On the left is a Monitor ironclad turret and its Dahlgren guns, as well as other Civil War vintage artillery such as a 30-pounder Parrott rifle. .

"July 4th 1776. When our Declaration of Indepedence was Signed Loyal Americans were of one mind to Protect Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
