dc.descriptionThe largest weapons at Fort Lee were the 32 pounders which had an overall length of 10 feet and were able to develop a high muzzle velocity of up to 1,300 feet per second. The gunnery crew, consisting of 7 to 12 men, inserted the powder charge and compacted it with a rammer. The cannoneer, sighting the target and depending on experience and long hours of practice, aimed the piece and ordered the cannon fired.
