Salvaged from its long rest on the bottom of the York River this old cannon was once aimed at Washington's troops, during the final days of the War of the American Revolution. Of the type known as "swivel gun," it was part of the armament of the British men-o-war sunk by the fire of our French Allies during the Siege of Yorktown, Virginia. Mounted on a carriage constructed under the supervision of historical technicians of the National Park Service, the ancient weapon is displayed at Colonial National Historical Park, Virginia.
