一份似乎未曾发表的手稿,题为《防爆浮动炮台》,作者为康格里夫火箭的发明者威廉·康格里夫爵士, 皇家炮兵司令上校兼伍利奇皇家实验室总管 以墨水书写于1800-1803年水印纸上,共22页,仅正文面书写,字迹工整,对页有少量补充注释,附有3幅水彩图及1幅钢笔墨水画,分列于3张纸上(编号为图版3-5), 手稿末尾有签名及日期“威廉·康格里夫 | 1805年1月9日”, 对开本,米色封皮线装,上封皮以墨水题写标题( 封皮略有缺损且沾有灰尘)——12½ x 8英寸 (32 x 20厘米) 来源: 伦敦苏富比: 书籍与手稿专场,1963年12月16日,第215号拍品; 已故克莱夫·理查兹CBE的遗产。 威廉·康格里夫爵士(1772-1828)为应对法国入侵的威胁,提出了这些防弹浮动炮台的构想。这些浮动炮台设计为靠桨驱动,并装有铁甲,但康格里夫的构想最终并未付诸建造。 1828年,康格里夫提出了一种改进型蒸汽动力、铁甲浮动炮台,用于在必要时强行突破达达尼尔海峡;海军总司令以不可行为由驳回了该方案。康格里夫还提议组建一支大型迫击炮艇编队,以摧毁布洛涅入侵舰队并攻击敌方港口。 大约在同一时期,多个国家都在进行战争火箭的实验,这促使康格里夫发明了他的火箭。 美国国歌中“火箭的红光,炸弹在空中爆裂”这句歌词,正是为了纪念1814年9月英国海军使用康格里夫火箭攻击麦克亨利堡的事件。
