wow... a great arsenal, so old, well that must be the way to use any wepon today...only for statues and museums... very nice shot my friend, and very nice lighting conditions too.
Be well!

ThankYou for the information Brian. You were very generous to explain it so nicely too. I appreciate your comments very much.
I always learn something. You seem to know a lot about history . I honestly had thought it was possibly an anchor so see what I've learned now !

I bet whoever painstakingly made this cannon never imagined it would end up in a city park almost 300 years later. At least it has a nice shady spot to rest in.

There are never simple-minded questions, questions and answers are what set us apart from other life forms

) Your photo shows what I believe to be a simple smooth-bore cannon. These weapons were basically a strong, very heavy, forged steel cylinder permanently closed at one end, and temporarily closed by a cannonball toward the other end, between which a charge of explosive powder was placed. When the charge was ignited through the touch-hole, it exploded, or changed to highly compressed gas, very quickly, expelling the ball to do whatever service was required of it. Such as kicking the attackers ass with a volley of solid steel bowling ball sized iron orbs. These orbs didn't explode when they hit the target, they instead, blew holes in other ships or sank them outright. I love the photo and the fact that you took the time to add some nice commentary. You did well! B
