Summary
edit| Description |
English: By 1900, new weapons were available, Breech-loading guns, loaded from the rear, gave much greater range and accuracy. New fortifications, built further seaward, became Halifax’s first line of defence. Even so, York Redoubt was rebuilt during the 1890s. The older rifled muzzle-loaded guns were remounted on new long-range carriages. Two new quick-fire guns were added to pour fire on small warships which might slip by the larger guns. The fort was greatly expanded, with improved defence against attack by land. |
