Sebastopol was the name of a large artillery mortar commissioned by the Ethiopian Emperor Tewodros II. The name was taken from the Crimean town Sevastopol, the site of a battle during the Crimean War. The mortar weighed approximately 6.7 tons, and was capable of firing off half-ton artillery rounds.
Tewodros, in an attempt to speed up industrialization in Ethiopia, took some British officials and German missionaries hostage to coerce technological help out of England. Instead the British government mounted an expedition to free the captives, which resulted in the Battle of Magdala, during which Tewodros committed suicide by shooting himself with a pistol previously given to him as a gift by Queen Victoria.
Although there are no records of the mortar being used in the battle it remains half-buried in the ground, on the plateau at Meqedela, near Amba Mariam. A bronze replica has been cast and displayed in the centre of a roundabout at Tewodros Square, Churchill Avenue, Addis Ababa.
Sebastopol is an English alternative rock band originating from London. The band consists of Nick Powell (lead vocals and bass guitar), Phil Richards ( guitars) and Tom Standage ( drums).
