Texas Seaport Museum I made some massive implements for the Texas Seaport museum's cannon piece that they have on display called the "Brutus". They needed a ram rod, sponge and worm for this naval display. The implements are 10 feet long. The barrel weighs approximately 8000 pounds and a crane was used to set the barrel on a special floor design to accept the barrels weight before the top of the museum was finished. Below you can read the museum's plate on the history of this 18-pounder artillery piece. You can visit the Texas Seaport Museum in Galveston, Texas to visit the museum items on display there and the 1877 Tall Ship "Elissa". |
