The Blakely cannon, imported from the British by the South along with the Whitworth and Armstrong guns, was invented by English Captain Alexander Blakely. The most commonly used Blakelys had a bore of 3.1 to 10 inches and used a variety of ammunition, including flanged and studded projectiles. Used in small numbers by the Confederates, the 12 pounder Blakely was constructed of steel and iron, had a bore of 3.4 inches and a tube that weighed 800 pounds. Using a one-pound charge, it fired a 10 pound projectile at a muzzle velocity of 1,250 ft/sec. The largest Blakely had a 12.75 inch bore and fired projectiles weighing 470 pounds nearly 2,000 yards (at 5 degrees of elevation). The large eight-inch Blakely was imported by the South for use in its coastal defenses in South Carolina. As with its sister cannon, the Armstrong, the Blakely's rifled design helped absorb the impact of firing. However, because of its 'bucking back' when firing it did not remain as popular as the Armstrong and Whitworth guns. When used with English ammunition, the Blakey was a good muzzle-loading gun; however, its performance deteriorated when firing shells of Confederate manufacture. The Blakely gun quickly became obsolete and soon was seeing little service as more advanced gun designs were produced.
