Worth comparing with this photograph: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2477622073/in/s... Are they the same gun?

Very interesting. Thanks rockcreek. A search on the LOC's website amongst the Bain collection for the keywords "Sandy Hook, gun, artillery" brings up quite a few examples of photographs taken there of various shore guns (along with many other examples of firearms) which have not yet made it to the flickr set.

Dictionary.com and my Webster's both list "defence" as "chiefly British" usage. I wonder where in the last century that changed, and why? Or was the Tribune putting on airs?
