Summary[edit]

Description Lot-10942-5: Firing 14” Gun, Sandy Hook, New Jersey, November 27, 1912. The first coast defense gun of 14” bore has just been tested at Sandy Hook. 14” were also on U.S. Navy ships and the Army has been working for a long time to adapt that size of weapon to the coast defense in Manila Harbor. In the first test of the gun, six shots were fired in three minutes and forty-five seconds. The projectile fired weights 1660 pound and is 65 inches long. The only point at which the new gun has not the advantage is in the trajectory point at which is more curved and the speed of the shot which is somewhat less. George C. Bain Collection.
