User:Ray3055/Boxer rocket
Colonel Boxer's device, consisting of placing two rockets in one tube, one behind the other, was developed by 1865.
From about 1865 until after the Second World War, Boxer rockets were used for firing rescue lines to ships in distress.
Although these were always made at Woolwich, Edward Mourier Boxer lived at Upton House, Ryde, until his death in January 1898.
