Thanks Mike.
My buddy did a good build with that! I love boat howitzers. They are often overlooked but these little guns were used a lot by both sides during the war. Photos of Union ships show these guns on deck on most monitor style ships and we know that they were used on many, many wooded gun boats. Like wise, the South used them when they could get them! I also read somewhere that Southern cannon foundries produced a some copies.
