Shell detonations could definitely be heard at that distance through propagation through the ground/water. Even at sea, I don’t think you’d be able to hear the muzzle blast at anywhere close to 100 miles.
Ceremonial artillery doesn't fire projectiles, just propellant charges, so it seems implausible that it could be heard at those distances.
- _8j50 4y agoWhy did you mention ceremonial artillery?
- closewith 4y agoThis thread is about the subject of ceremonial artillery. > "Guns fired at the funeral of Queen Victoria in London in 1901 were heard in Scotland"
- _8j50 4y agoI assumed they would fire live rounds back then lol
- InitialLastName 4y agoThe context is the guns fired at Queen Victoria's funeral, which would almost certainly not be non-ceremonial artillery.
