The following has been lifted word for word from Wikipedia.org -
The Congreve Rocket was a British military weapon designed and developed by Sir William Congreve in 1804.
The rocket was developed by the Royal Arsenal following the experiences of the Second, Third and Fourth Mysore Wars. The wars fought between the British East India Company and the kingdom of Mysore in India made use of rockets as a weapon. After the wars, several Mysore rockets were sent to England, and from 1801, William Congreve set on a research and development programme at the Arsenal's laboratory. The Royal Arsenal's first demonstration of solid fuel rockets was in 1805. The rockets were used effectively during the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812.
Enough with the preamble. This is my attempt to inspire and cajole the much more talented builders in SL to create items to fill certain voids I perceive on marketplace. Most of my creations represent the simplest versions of the technology they lead to.
This Congreve Rocket set is unscripted, comes in multiple pieces to be rezzed at once, and has been made copy only. If you are capable of adding scripts to it? Let me know through NC or IM at Addison Avedon in world.
