Comunicado En Pdf Con Original En Inglés Incluido InfoGibraltar Servicio de Información de Gibraltar comunicado Gobierno de Gibraltar: Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, Sostenibilidad, Cambio Climático, Patrimonio, Educación y Cultura Fase II de instalación de tapabocas Gibraltar, 24 de mayo de 2021 El Ministerio de Patrimonio se complace en anunciar la conclusión de la Fase II de su actual programa de mantenimiento de cañones y tapabocas. Se ha llevado a cabo una extensa labor de mantenimiento sobre varios cañones y en aquellos que lo requerían se han instalado tapabocas para protegerlos frente a la entrada de agua y acumulación de residuos, lo cual se ha considerado un problema para la conservación de estos importantes artefactos históricos desde hace tiempo. Un tapabocas es un tapón o cubierta de madera para la boca de un cañón o mortero. Todos los tapabocas lucen el Escudo de Armas del Cuerpo Real de Armamento del Ejército (Royal Army Ordnance Corps, RAOC), el órgano responsable del transporte y emisión de armas y municiones a las tropas, así como el mantenimiento y reparación de dichas armas en el ejército británico. Esto incluye todas las piezas de artillería, las cuales, aunque expedidas al Cuerpo Real de Artillería (Royal Artillery), siguen siendo propiedad de RAOC. La Fase I incluyó la restauración completa del icónico cañón Koehler, el primero con un carro- afuste dotado de cureña deslizante con ángulo de depresión de hasta 42⁰ (Koehler depression carriage) en la Explanada (Grand Casemates Square), que permitía por primera vez tirar desde las alturas del peñón hacia abajo. Estos trabajos incluyeron una restauración completa de la réplica del afuste Koehler y la instalación de un tapabocas sobre la boca del cañón. Se han instalado otros once tapabocas en diversos cañones; cuatro en Orange Bastion, cuatro en Queensway Quay, dos en la entrada de la Base Naval y en el cañón naval de bronce situado delante del monumento de conmemoración de Wellington en los Jardines Botánicos de Gibraltar (Gibraltar Botanic Gardens) en la Alameda. La segunda fase del proyecto ha incluido la instalación de tapabocas de mayor tamaño en algunos de los cañones y morteros de gran calibre situados en los jardines de la Alameda. Esta labor ha incluido repintar los cañones de 10 pulgadas de Grand Parade y los dos morteros de hierro de 13 pulgadas del monumento a Wellington, además de rebarnizar el afuste del cañón de bronce. Los cuatro cañones Verbruggen tipo howitzer situados en el monumento de conmemoración a Elliot también han recibido nuevos tapabocas hechos a medida, completándose así el programa de restauración de los Jardines Botánicos. Además, se han instalado tapabocas en los dos cañones BL de 6 pulgadas de Devil’s Gap Battery y la carronada de 32 libras situada en el exterior de Grand Battery House. En total, entre las Fases I y II, se han instalado veintitrés tapabocas. 26/05/2021 1/4 InfoGibraltar Servicio de Información de Gibraltar comunicado El Ministro de Patrimonio, John Cortés, comentó: “Se trata de la última de varias iniciativas dirigidas a restaurar y proteger nuestro patrimonio militar y los trabajos continúan en diversos puntos de Gibraltar, incluyendo Napier Battery y la Parte Superior del Peñón (Upper Rock). El Ministerio maneja una base de datos completa de piezas de artillería y está trabajando junto con el Museo Nacional de Gibraltar (Gibraltar National Museum) y la Fundación del Patrimonio de Gibraltar (Gibraltar Heritage Trust) para poder exhibir otros ejemplos de esta parte de nuestro patrimonio”.

A number of cannons have now undergone extensive maintenance works where needed and fitted with tampions to protect the barrels from accumulating rubbish and water ingress, which has long been considered a problem for the conservation of these important historical assets. A tampion is a wooden plug or cover for the muzzle of a gun or mortar. All tampions bear the Coat of Arms of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC), the body responsible for the transport and issue of weapons and ammunition to troops as well as for the maintenance and repairs of all such weapons within the British Army. This included all artillery pieces, which although issued to the Royal Artillery, remained the property of the RAOC. Phase I saw the complete restoration of the iconic Koehler depression carriage at Grand Casemates Square. These works included a complete restoration of the replica Koehler gun carriage and attaching a tampion on the gun muzzle. Eleven other tampions were fitted to various other guns; four at Orange Bastion, four at Queensway Quay, two at the Naval Base entrance as well as the bronze naval cannon in front of the Wellington Memorial in the Gibraltare Botanic Gardens in the Alameda. The second phase of the project has seen new larger sized tampions fitted to some of the larger muzzled guns and mortars located at the Alameda Gardens. This has included re-painting of the 10- inch guns at Grand Parade and the two iron 13-inch mortars at the Wellington Memorial, as well as re-varnishing the gun carriage for the bronze cannon. The four Verbruggen howitzers located at the Elliot Memorial have also been fitted with new custom-sized tampions, thus completing the Botanic Gardens restoration programme entirely. In addition, tampions have also now been fitted to the two 6-inch BL guns at Devil’s Gap Battery and the 32-pounder carronade outside the premises of Grand Battery House. This brings the total number of tampions fitted in both Phase I and II to twenty-three.

The Ministry has a full database of artillery pieces and is working also with the Gibraltar National Museum and the Gibraltar Heritage Trust to display other examples of this part of our heritage”.
