Mallet’s Mortar was a British shell-firing mortar built for the Crimean War but never used in combat.The mortar was designed by Robert Mallet. It was constructed in sections so that it could be transported. Robert Mallet first made his design public in 1854. There was little response from the authorities until Mallet wrote to the then Prime Minister Lord Palmerston in March 1855.
