1/250 Mortar Boat No. 10
Simple, shallow-draught barges like Mortar Boat Number 10 shown here
were used by both sides in the American Civil War as a war of providing mobility
for heavy artillery pieces. Large-caliber mortars were used against shore
fortifications - the explosive shell's high trajectories meant they would drop
behind a fort's protective earth banks and cause considerable damage.
These mortar boats would be towed to their firing positions and then anchored
or moored to the bank to fire. Mortar Boat No. 10 was 61' long and 21' wide and
mounted a 12" mortar. Her upperworks were made of iron backed by timber and
her hull was heavily built to withstand the powerful recoil of the mortar. She was
active on the Mississippi River in the early part of the Civil War.
The model is based on drawings in "Warships of the Civil War" by Paul Henry.
Print onto 160gsm card. Score fold lines prior to cutting out parts. Use a clear
craft glue or PVA adhesive. Assemble parts in numerical order - sub-parts should
be assembled in alphabetical order. Use a craft knife or sharp scissors to cut out
the parts.
