Watch List notes:

Conserved iron signal cannon, intact, with yoke, ex-1715 Fleet, very rare. 98 lb av; 29-1/2" long, widest diameter 6", 1-1/2" bore. It is hard to imagine a more important iron artifact from the 1715 Fleet except perhaps an anchor, this cannon small enough to justify salvaging and conserving, also so well preserved that every ring and feature is still clear as day through the heavy black coating. Remarkably, the yoke is also intact (no doubt conserved separately), as are also the lifting-handle "dolphins," cascabel and touch-hole, but no emblems or other markings (if there ever were any) remain. For the ultimate 1715 Fleet collector, fully certified and ready for display. (Special shipping applies.) From the 1715 Fleet (Corrigans site), with original Fisher photo-certificate 19916 and retail promotional photo-certificate.

Estimate: $15000 - $30000
