"This gun is said to be the largest in the world, and to Pittsburgh belongs the honor of adding such a heavy piece of ordnance to the science of war."
The gun will remain in the pit where it was cast for the cooling process which expected to last between 10 days to two weeks.
It is not known where it will be sent, possibly to the New York City defenses.
The day of casting was secret, but a large number of ladies, scientific and military were in attendance. Also, there was a Captain Goodenough of the Royal Navy there.
We've Got a Bigger Gun. --Old Secesh
