Mt Victoria

SBML 24-pr on iron garrison standing carriage. In 1877, members of D Battery man-handled the 24-pr muzzle loader up Mount Victoria for use as a noonday signal gun by the City Council, earning £25 for Battery funds. Since it took seven days to get the gun to the top of the hill, the Battery marked the occasion by firing 7 rounds from the gun.
