The Siege of Sebastopol - Gordon's Attack with a Lancaster Gun, 1854. Creator: Unknown

The Siege of Sebastopol - Gordon's Attack with a Lancaster Gun, 1854. Crimean War: British soldiers with heavy artillery:..on the crest of a precipice, is a one-gun battery, mounted with one of Lancaster's guns, which was destined to batter a three-decker in the Admiralty harbour. This object has been defeated since the erection of the battery, by the withdrawal of the vessel; but a second embrasure has been made, and the Lancaster gun will now be directed towards the fated round tower against whioh so many snarling muzzles are already turned with dreadful purpose...On the 20th the guns in Gordon's right battery were withdrawn, as it was considered that they were working at too great a distance from the round tower against which they were directed. The Lancaster gun was left to fire at the shipping, which it merely annoyed, without doing serious damage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
