Hairy Mary armored train with hemp rope armor from the Boer War.
It’s actually camouflage. The enemy will think it’s just a migrating giant yarn bundle and not shoot it
Unfortunately, Hairy Mary was detected by odor and destroyed on her maiden voyage.
Ah nevermind.
I was being facetious about the strong smell of hemp, my brother in Christ. For all I know, Mary had a long and odiferous career, full of adventure.
I was actually trying to add another joke, but it wasn’t funny outside my head so I edited it out.
Eh, that’s cool, I wanna hear it anyways! I promise to laugh with you and not at you. Pinkie promise.
Sweet Jesus, that looks flammable.

i think similar contraptions were used in propellant factories of the era as blast shields, but it’s kinda pointless this way when curtain can’t flex under stress. maybe perhaps it will stop tiny fragments or shot and the slowest of bullets, otherwise it would probably cause more trouble when it catches fire
This is also why fire repellent theater curtains are no longer a thing.
Well that and the fact they are made of asbestos, and raising and lowering friable asbestos fabric all the time in a public space isn’t the best idea.
