Iron cannonball grenade with original powder intact (rendered inert and housed in a glass bottle), very rare. 1449 grams, 3-1/2" in diameter. A smooth iron ball with pit in side (as made) and hole containing the original wooden plug, the powder it used to contain also recovered, rendered inert and placed in a glass bottle, first time we have ever seen original powder offered with such a projectile, not to mention from a rare but known shipwreck provenance.
