Naval gun mounting at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

  Interesting text and great photo - thanks! Looking back, it's tempting to say that countries are better off when they're the workshops of the world than under post-industrial economies.

• Billy Embleton said:

  Could be a turret for the battleship HMS Monarch as that was under construction at Elswick in 1911.

• optimal chicken said:

  Oh wow this is a fantastic photo! Very atmospheric! I kinda forgot these things are assembled 'dirty' and then dismantled, painted and placed onto a ship..

• Billy Embleton said:

  13.5 inch calibre Paul. Monarch mounted 10 of these guns in 5 turrets. As a footnote the Japanese battleships Yamato & Musashi mounted the largest guns in history at 18 inch calibre. The armoured plates on the turret faces were 25 inches thick.

• optimal chicken said:

  That's madness Billy. Mind saying that, it's how warfare was carried out on the seas then. Now it's missiles and aircraft..

PENSACOLA (LOC)

  Looks like USS Pensacola, built in 1859, decommissioned in 1911, and sunk in 1912. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Pensacola_(1859)

• The Library of Congress said:

  Glad to have the name confirmed! We'll update the description.

  So, did Conch Island not exist then?
