Beschreibung

Admiral David Dixon Porter signed letter, May 5, 1858, to Captain John Pope as Commandant of the Portsmouth Naval Yard asking for his opinion on Porter s design of quoin for gun carriages. Porter would have the invention patented a few months later. The 3 page 4to letter explains why Porter thinks his invention is so superior to the quoin and beds currently being used with naval guns. Porter rose to the rank of Admiral during the Civil War with significant service around New Orleans and on the Mississippi. This is a fascinating look at how naval weapons were modernized and improved around the time of the Civil War. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4963
