Le Bloomfield du Fort-Ste-Hélène-Montréal (Québec) - Static Artillery Displays on Waymarking.com

This type of carriage and platform made of cast iron was used in peace time during 19th century. In wartime wooden carriages were used because they were less likely to shatter than the longer lasting cast iron ones.
Ce type particulier d'affût et de platte-forme tout en métal fut utilisé en temps de paix tout au cours du 19 ème siècle. En cas de conflits, les affûts de bois remplaçaient ceux de fer. Bien que moins résistants aux intempéries, les affûts de bois résistaient aux éclatements.
