Interestling little news clip of a few of the guns from HMS Association wreck on the Isles of Scilly UK in 1707

CANNON SALVAGED FROM SUNKEN FLAGSHIP, FIRED - British Pathé

The guy kissing the guns is Roland Morris who located the wreck and features in the video on this post:

Worth searching the Pathe site, loads of interesting clips if you search all the normal, shipwreck, salvage, diving, diver(s) etc.

Shame you have to sit through all the short adverts.

If you get chance to read it this is a cracking read and can still be found on bookfinder.com or abebooks.com or in reprint (different title) from http://www.periscopepublishing.com/...re_Code=PPL&Product_Code=TOTA&Category_Code=B

Nice idea to clean the encrusted bore of a cannon! I prefer that way :laughing7:
