I'd rather have these finds than a blowed up cannon.
Then again I make my own cannons.
Awesome site. Enjoy ...

Some wonderful saves and one heck of a site. How often does one come across a cannon, blown up or other wise? HH jim tn

update: its a Naval Blunderbuss most likely British

AKA Deck Gun/ Hand Cannon. much rarer than just a signal cannon.

Glad you identified it.... I ran out of me at 2:30 am est.... unbelievable how many different types of ringed slightly flared muzzles there are over some 200 years... I'm fine with not looking at any blunder swivel signal rail canon barrels for a spell.... I get eye tied after a while... I'm old....
