Transport of a Turret by a Team of 60 Horses

1897

A very heavy turret is transported on a truck drawn by a long line of horses.

It is certainly a turret intended for the battleship “Charlemagne”. In addition, a view projected by the Aléthorama on January 20, 1898 in Saint-Étienne, and entitled “Transportation of the armored turret of Saint-Chamond by a team of 80 horses”, could represent the same event.
