Blakely Rifle
British Captain Theophilus Alexander Blakely was a prolific designer of rifled cannon, and
since his own government did not adopt his designs he sold his weapons
overseas. Several of his guns were purchased by the Confederacy and used
during the Civil War, and it was in fact a 12-pounder Blakely that had the
distinction of being the only rifled cannon used on April 12, 1861, to
bombard the Union garrison inside Fort Sumter. Measures 8"x 3 1/4"
including solid walnut base.

cannon for a complete set. Measures 15"x 9"x 6½". |
