西嶼西台仿古砲 完成安裝

　　（記者蘇文章報導）由縣政府依照原始資料１：１打造的四座仿阿姆斯脫朗後膛砲目前已安置完成，未來遊客前往西台古堡參觀，不必再憑空想像古砲模樣。

　　本縣位處中國大陸與台灣之間的航海交通要道，為台灣防務的前哨，極具軍事價值，長久以來一直被視為海防重地，自１７世紀起，便躍入世紀歷史的舞台。

　　其中西台古堡為重要的海防基地，但當年由清政府斥資打造的四座阿姆斯脫朗後膛砲，下落不明，讓古堡僅剩建築硬體及砲台，許多遊客進入參觀，只能靠導遊的解說憑空想像，無法深刻的體會當年古堡的軍事魅力。

　　多年來有不少遊客反映，抱怨古堡裡無砲可欣賞，西嶼鄉選出的縣議員許月里、李添進議員及西嶼鄉長楊石龍等也提出建議，爭取縣府規劃讓古炮重現，讓古堡參觀價值提昇。

　　縣府為此著手規劃考證，尋找現有的原始資料與文獻，透過歷史場景重塑方式，得到文建會、楊仁江、陳英俊、高啟進等文史專家指導顧問，以澎湖的防衛史為背景，仿製四座鋼構阿姆斯脫朗後膛砲，重塑劉銘傳時期最大、最壯觀的火砲，四座古炮口徑分別為６吋、１０吋及１２吋，四座古炮均為１：１尺寸，除了材質改進與無法真正射擊外，其他均與原砲無異。

　　古砲日前進行安座儀式後，隨即趕工組裝，目前已經完成安置，重現清朝時期西嶼砲臺的文化風采。

　　旅遊局表示，透過仿製實際尺寸大砲的展示，彰顯西台古堡的歷史意義，讓參訪的遊客感受當時澎湖海防軍備實力，並藉由導遊生動的解說，深化旅遊內涵，藉以吸引更多對歷史文化有興趣的遊客參訪，提昇本縣觀光效益。

　　阿姆斯托朗後膛起源於西元１８５４年，克里米亞戰爭（Crimean War）期間，阿姆斯托朗有感於英軍在戰場上使用之火砲操作過於不便，因而構思設計較機動性的火砲供英軍使用。

　　阿姆斯托朗後膛鋼砲首次製造於西元１８５５年，由英國Woolwich的Elswick Ordnance Company 和The Royal Arsenal兵工廠所製造。其特點為層層套箍方式製成的砲身，採用新型閉鎖裝置的後膛砲，利用熱漲冷縮原理，使其可以承受較大的膛壓，火砲射程更遠。

　　西元１８８０年威廉．喬治．阿姆斯托朗先生發明了後膛砲斷隔螺栓砲閂，此一發明提供了現代火砲快速裝填和發射穩定的機制，使「後膛砲」從此成為戰場上的主流。
