Description:
When my father wanted to build a 3/4 scale replica of the Santa Maria in 1975 he bought a piece of waterfront property on Coffee Pot Bayou in St. Petersburg Florida on which to lay her keel. The Old lady he bought it from was a kindly widow of an ancient Seaman and her house was crammed with nautical memorabilia. She saw in me someone who would appreciate her long lost husband's treasures and piled upon me ship's chronometers, barometers, belaying pins and this very signal cannon of unknown origin.
This was a kid's dream, to own and fire his very own black powder cannon. It is only 15mm in bore but to a kid it was like having my very own "Dora". I fired all manner of shot and patched double A batteries out of this gem and heralded a few New Years Eves with it too.
I'm 56 years old now with wife and family and I have to get out of the sand box eventually. Perhaps there is another kid (of undisclosed age) who would like to step into my shoes of youth and dream while they light the fuse.
Make those Scallywags heave to for $150.00 and $30 shipping
