File talk:6 inch gun from HMS Calypso.jpg

Provenance

I received the following information from the Curator of Artillery, Royal Armouries, in reswponse to an enquiry on this specific gun:

This gun carries the serial number 295 and if the surviving Gun Logs belonging to Explosion! The Museum of Naval Firepower at Priddy's Hard, Gosport but currently on deposit at the Hampshire County Record Office, Winchester, are consulted it can be seen that it was removed from Calypso and returned to store in Plymouth on the 10th August 1901 and appears to have ended up in Devonport on 23rd January 1902. Sadly there are no other entries regarding its earlier (or later) life.
