Description
The Great Turkish Bombard displayed at Fort Nelson, Portsmouth.
Ahh, yes, I remember it, the Great Bombade.
It caused much damage during Dardanelles Operation and was the given to Queen Victoria in the mid 19th Century as a present.
Holy sh*t what a cannon! The turks have it in Age of Empires 3, and it kicks arse!
Educational games, huh? ;D
Both the Chinese and the Turks worked on the cannon technology
It became a foremidable weapon which in the future perfected by many engineers and scientists.
Impressive weapon, really!
