17TH-CENTURy SPANISH
MORTAR
by Mike Hanson
The Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest
masonry fort in the continental United
States, dating back to 1672. It’s one of
my favorite places to visit, and there are
plenty of antique and historic weapons
on display.

One of those weapons is shown here.
This is a 17th-century Spanish mortar.
As you can see, it’s very embellished with
designs and scrollwork. The patina comes
from the fact that brass is the base metal;
it was much easier to cast than iron, which
became common later.

A few years ago I scratch-built a 17th Cen-
tury Spanish cannon; my goal has always
been to follow up with a mortar.
