Royal Danish Naval Museum
« on: August 01, 2012, 05:44:55 PM »
Here are some good photos of some fine naval ordnance. A 6-pdr carronade on an unusual sliding carriage presented to King Christian IX by the Russian Tsar, Krupp 87mm naval BLR, Whitworth 18-pdr BLR, and a bronze muzzle loading prize captured from the pirate ship Adolpho in 1825, amongst others.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Thanks, any reason I can see the little thumbnails on the right but get a blank where the big photo should be?  Need a password?

No, there's no password. I smply copied and pasted the flickr/Yahoo address here. When I click on one of the thumbnails it opens in the larger format on the left, and then you can enlarge that photo further. I've never seen a carriage design quite like tbe Russian bronze carronade, nor have I seen a similar Krupp naval gun.

Orlogsmuseet - Different Types of Models
Beside the construction models - which were made to aid the shipbuilders - a variety of different models were produced. Models of details were used for guiding subcontractors and craftsmen. Various educational models were made for the Navy's schools. Technical models were made to test principles and usability. Artists made models of ornaments for the wood carvers. And finally models were made as gifts and memorials.

Orlogsmuseet - Gun from Adolpho
In the early morning of July 11, 1825 the Danish Second Lieutenant Carl Irminger forced the pirate Juan Laforcada, on the Ship ADOLPHO, to surrender. Laforcada had been a nuisance for Danish traffic in the West Indies. Irminger disguised his ship VIGILANT as a merchant vessel and lured the pirats into a trap. Irminger ordered his men to open fire and the pirates soon surrendered. Irminger shot and killed Laforcada.
