US M1841 24-pdr Siege and Garrison Coehorn Mortar

Coehorn mortars were invented by Dutch Baron Von Coehorn in the 1670s. There were intended for siege operations and remained in production and use two centuries later.

 

After visiting the Cherokee National Museum, I drove southwest, to go to Fort Sill. This is a United States Army post north of Lawton, Oklahoma. It is home to the Artillery Museum and the Air Defense Artillery Museum. I visited this place on June 8, 2019.
