Model of a Floating Battery, anonymous, 1863 Canvas Print
Polychrome brass model of a raft battery, presumably incomplete. The floating body is a hexagonal raft, painted black and white, with a rectangular opening at the top in which a cannon stands on sliding sled; this opening is surrounded by an upright edge. In the back is a large wheel, which operates a disc on the outside, over which a steering chain must run: this chain is fixed in the water and by turning the wheel it moves smoothly back and forth. A bunch of davits, attached to the back of the sled, protrudes behind the outboard. Scale 1:20 (according to Obreen).
