Summary

Interior view of Fort Whipple's gun platform and artillery positions.

General John G. Barnard described the work as such:
"Fort Whipple with its auxiliary batteries added greatly to the strength of this part of the line, while it also rendered Fort Corcoran and the téte du pont of the Aqueduct Bridge temporarily tenable even though the front line, which overlooked them, should be carried."
Fort Whipple was named in honor of Major General Amiel W. Whipple, mortally wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville, May 4, 1863. General Whipple succumbed to his wound 3 days later.

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.
