description

Summary

The foreground weapon is a 10-inch Model 1844 columbiad, banded and rifled, recently captured by the Union at Fort Johnson in Charleston Harbor. The carriage has been cut through by the Confederates to deny the weapon's use to the Union.

A very large dataset of various big guns, howitzers, mortars, columbiads, all types of canon-like things - everything besides machine guns and rockets. This collection as well as all massive collections on Picryl.com required two steps: First, we picked a set to train AI vision to recognize cannon artillery, and after that, ran all 25M+ images in our database through our image recognition network. All media in the collection is in the public domain. There is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
