Pat Farrell tells us how cannons first came on the scene in Europe in the 12th century and variations continue to this day. Various types of cannons were used in Newfoundland for battle and protection. Whether from land or ship the cannons were the weapons of choice. The cannon he made here is typical of the 1600's.

The black powder and slow match used for igniting the powder are all recipe’s from that time. Two types of cannons were typically used in Newfoundland. One was the longer barrel cannon that fired solid cannonballs to the shorter bore that fired the exploding type of which he will have both to look at and feel the weight of. These are both from the 1600's and 1700's.

Pat will be on stage with his trusty cannon on Saturday, August 24 @ 1:00 pm and Sunday August 25th @ 1:00pm
