Brass Percussion Blunderbuss

The expedition to the Dead Sea was dangerous. In order to protect the expedition boats from the possible attack, there was a blunderbuss mounted to the bow of one of the boats. In case of attack, the members of the crew used the blunderbuss as their source of protection. Lieutenant John Dahlgren, a weapons designer at the Washington Navy Yard, was inspired by the weapon from the Lynch expedition and developed the blunderbuss, which is on display in the Constitution Fighting Top area at the National Museum of the U.S. Navy, Bldg 76.
