The story of a 'superweapon' designed to break the stalemate of siege warfare in the Crimea using all the industrial might Victorian Britain had to offer. This massive 36in mortar could fire a 2900lb shell nearly two miles - built in 1854 as a Crimean War superweapon by Robert Mallet, an Irish geologist who had been experimenting with rock blasting and seismology.
