Ek het afgekom op 'n paar baie interessante kanonne en wil graag die inligting wat ek gaan inwin, met julle deel Hierdie is seker 'n draad wat net deur sekere belangstellendes gevolg gaan word Gantouw pas - kanon nommer 396 en 397 Die een van Swede (1790), die ander van Engeland (1740) - albei 6 ponders  Dan was ons Saterdag na Franskraal toe gewees Hierdie kanon kom van die Birkenhead skip af Duidelik verwaarloos     Eintlik gaan soek na die kanon by Gansbaai hawe, maar niks gevind nie - baie teleurgestel, maar sal soek tot ons hom kry |

Andy660 on WD (occasionally here too) is a member of the cannon society. He has a project to ride to every cannon. He has a good book about local cannons.

Thanx Martin
Kan mens net daar opdaag vir die noonday gun of moet jy vooraf reel om saam met 'n groep te gaan ?
Dis nogal iets wat ek graag sal wil doen.

Die laaste een lyk asof hy goed bewaar word Martin, weet jy of die kanon op sy oorspronklike plek staan of is hy geskuif soontoe ? Waarvoor was hy aangewend ? Dankie vir 'n interesante pos  |

Dankie vir 'n interesante pos Blykbaar staan hy nou weer waar hy oorspronklik gestaan het Was eers daar, toe dorp toe verskuif, en nou weer op sy plek Die kanon was aangewend vir die stuur van seine |

Ek weet nie of iemand die website al genoem het nie, http://www.caosa.org.za/Het dit Saterdag op 'n pamflet gesien. Die Vriende van die Tygerberg het 'n klein kanonnetjie gebruik as starter gun vir die fietswedrenne Saterdag in die Jack Muller park hier by ons. Die eerste keer het almal gedink 'n gasbottel het ontplof  |
