Madrid Maritime Museum

[Trident Model]

The photo was taken by my friend at the Maritime Museum of Madrid some time ago. This is the only photo of this gun. I want to know more about him. I don't know if you have more information or similar drawings. Thank you very much

Looking like a turret of an early ironclad. Did not find something fastly...... maybe some spanisch members know more

Sorry, I’ve been several times there but don’t remember that composition.
Next time I will look for it to achieve more information.

I guess you can find something with "parrot rifle gun" "rifled muzzle loading gun" etc.
These kind of guns were used in the second half of the 19th century.
If it was a spanish used gun, maybe you can find the ships more under ironclads or unprotected cruiser

Thank you Uwek. I'd like to have a try. Do you have any pictures of the cross-section guns with different feelings.

My friends use Madrid in January. They use it to take pictures for me. Thank you

Thank you Uwek. I'd like to have a try. Do you have any pictures of the cross-section guns with different feelings.

Take a look at this page - here several cross sections are given - and the different calibers are described

RML 11-inch 25-ton gun

RML 11-inch 25-ton guns were large rifled muzzle-loading guns used as primary armament on British battleships and for coastal defence. They were effectively the same gun as the RML 12-inch 25-ton gun, bored to 11 inches instead of 12. Mark I was introduced in 1867. Mark II was introduced in 1871...
