- Sebastopol_(cannon) abstract "Sebastopol was the name of a large artillery mortar commissioned by the Ethiopian Emperor Tewodros II. The name was taken from the Crimean town Sevastopol, the site of a battle during the Crimean War. The mortar weighed approximately 6.7 tons, and was capable of firing off half-ton artillery rounds.Tewodros, in an attempt to speed up industrialization in Ethiopia, took some British officials and German missionaries hostage to coerce technological help out of England. Instead the British government mounted an expedition to free the captives, which resulted in the Battle of Magdala, during which Tewdros shot himself with a pistol previously given to him as a gift by Queen Victoria.Although there are no records of the mortar being used in the battle it remains half-buried in the ground, on the plateau at Meqedela, near Amba Mariam. A bronze replica of it has been cast and is located in the centre of a roundabout at Tewodros Square, Churchill Avenue, Addis Ababa.The cannon is mentioned in the novel Flashman on the March, by George MacDonald Fraser.".
