That is some elevation screw on that Parrott gun, in the picture with the powder monkey.

 

I believe that they wanted to conduct some serious business with it. I wonder what the bore size was?

My guess would be the 5.3 inch, 60 pounder. Take a look at This Chart and the "trunnion diameter." Using the boys head, and the size of the hatchet on the gun, to judge the size, looks more like 5.8" than 8" to me.
