@keithehlert Soilid shot would be a solid ball, this is shell because it explodes in the air the first time and it explodes when it hit the ground. Most old artillery shells used a timed fuze not a impact fuze exept some of the rifled shells so it might explode above, or after hitting the ground.

0:35 sounds like a duck orgasming.

We have those her in Charleston down at the Battery. I've always wondered what those were like when they were fired. Now I know! To be on the receiving end of one of those things must have been freightening to say the least! Thanks for posting this.

Not odd at all. During the Seige of Petersburg a 13-inch seacoast mortar was put on a railroad flat car and sent inland to front lies.
Seacoast mortars were also used on specially built rafts on the Mississippi River.

Sure makes those pussy loads at Reenactments seem like childsplay. The heavies were nothing to mess around with on a Battlefield. I was here once, and that concussion is so heavy you feel like you are getting hit by a hammer when that 13" fires its 200lb shell. Even with Earplugs in... it still hurts. Thanks to the Paulsons who made this possible!
