Found Cannon from spanish Armada please help me...


May 26, 1998 at 11:25:26

The Cannon was called Esmeril, the English would call it the Killer, cause when fired it would spinn around and kill the gunmen. A very nice looking cannon in very good shape with the Inscriptions CB on a shield with a face on top with wing's. The number of the gun is 21, there is another number on it 262 but have no idea, maybe this is the fleet number. It was still loaded and this with a stone bullet with I think tell's me this vessel was from before 1600. Somone from sotheby's came over for a look and was prepaired to give me 25.000 pounds with is a lot of money. Anyway I'd like to know from with boat it is and how old it is exactly. It was found in or around Cadaqués and it's from bronze that's all I can tell you about it. I do have a photo (3in1) if you'd like to see it. hope to hear from anyone... Thank's PAT.
