The Daily Dispatch: March 18, 1862., [Electronic resource], A Big gun for the "Virginia." (search)
A Big gun for the "Virginia." --The Norfolk Fay Book, of yesterday, makes the following announcement: We are gratified to learn that the large gun, recently cast in Richmond for the Virginia, has been placed in its position on board of that vessel. It throws a solid shot, we understand, weighing 860 pounds. The shot is long, and has a steel point This, together with her two Armstrong guns, put on board since her return from Newport Nows, gives her one of the most formidable batteries in the world, in addition to her being perfectly shot and shell proof. We would like to give our readers a description of this new gun and shot, but fear we have already stated more than is prudent, lest it should get to the ears of those the information is not intended for. The iron employed in covering the Virginia was rolled at the "Tredegar Iron Works" at Richmond, according to drawings furnished by Constructor John L. Porter.
