Looking through the book again, and I think I found it - it's practically identical to the 13-inch siege mortar. Projectile weight 220 pounds, powder charge 20 pounds, maximum range 4325 yards. What a monster!
Humorous story from the book - during the siege of Petersburg, the first shot from a 13-inch mortar fell onto the front yard of a cathouse - a number of Confederate officers were seen making hurried exits through doors and windows.
