Churchill Island Heritage Farm
Photograph - Photograph of Churchill Island Cannon, c.1967
The cannon dates from the 1870s during Samuel Amess's ownership of Churchill Island. He claimed it was a gift from Captain Waddell of the Confederate raiding ship "Shenandoah", but research has proven this to be unlikely. It may have been given to Amess by Captain John Cleeland of "Woolamai House". The cannon was fired every New Years Eve during the Jenkins and Campbell eras (1936-1972).This photograph records a regular event that was a fixture in the New Years celebrations at Churchill Island and endured through generations of owners. Framed rectangular colour photo of Churchill Island cannon firing on New Years Eve 1967 in a wooden frame. 1967 New Years Eve[on frame]/ from John Brown '97cannon, samuel amess, jenkins, margaret campbell, churchill island, shenandoah, cleeland, woolamai house -
