Description:
Relic swivel cannon from the Revolutionary War. This great relic piece has a 2" bore, is 27" overall and is approximately 7" across the base. This piece is illustrated as drawing 12, page 61 in "Borders Away II" by William Gilkerson. This piece shows the effects of years of immersion in the salt waters of the North Atlantic. This piece was recovered at prior to WWII off of Yarmouth on Nova Scotia's southernmost tip, a strategically important and well defended port during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 and a haunt of many armed ships from both sides. There is also a strong possibility that it may have been used by a privateer. The swivel remains in place. A relic of this type is very uncommon and by itself tells a story of the past. A great display piece in the right location.
