Very nice pics of our favorite kind of guns. Looks like 8" Rodman guns to us, not quite enough mass to be 10 inchers.

Made at Ft. Pitt, 1865, reg. nos. 29,31,33, about 8500 lbs. each. The nearly sequential registry numbers lead me to think they probably came together out of one of the NY Harbor forts.

Hey lance, all is good. just real busy working on the house... I just happen to be driving by the riverside park and had to make a double take.. parked in front of bus stop. Grab my handy camera took these photo for you to see.. It seems that the parks dept. was in the process making repairs in the cannon row area. The cannons were fenced in, I found a short side of the fence and let myself in..I'm glad you guys enjoyed
them..
