Large iron carronade (British, 1780s-1820s). 700 lb (+/-), 48" end to end, 13" widest diameter, 18" wide at trunnions, 3-1/2" bore, 5" cascabel with 2-1/2" handle. A short, fat, and extremely heavy iron cannon used for short-range combat, 100% intact (full cascabel and trunnions) and with some original surfaces although of course quite rusty, bits of encrustation here and there, not professionally conserved but very solid and stable, a great conversation piece for your front yard or office lobby! Recovered from: Unidentified 1820s wreck in the western Atlantic
