Weapon - Artefact, Cannon ball, pre 1830
... in diameter and weighed 10lb, Such cannon balls were used in an 18.... It was approximately 5 inches in diameter and weighed 10lb, Such cannon balls ...This cannon ball formed the basis of a discussion with artillerist Peter Webster and historical society members in 2011. The following ideas were put forward. It was approximately 5 inches in diameter and weighed 10lb, Such cannon balls were used in an 18 calibre cannon, which were used only on ships. (12 calibre guns were field artillery). Australia was behind England in its artillery use and used hand me downs. In the 1800's Australia did an audit of artillery and cleared out those no longer in use. By the time of the 1830's 18lb cannons were largely obsolete and removed from service Australia used 18 calibre cannons in Northern Australia at Port Essington and Fort Dundas (Melville Island) Perhaps this cannon ball has no real connection with Australia and came as ballast from some other country.This is one of the more interesting items in our collection and there has been much conjecture over the years as to the story of how it ended up in Warrnambool. In that way it has built its own mystery and provenanceRound metal ball measuring 5 inches in diameter, weighing 10lb.

Weapon - Cannon Ball, Victorian era
... This small iron cannon ball is made of iron. Cannon balls...This small iron cannon ball is made of iron. Cannon balls ...This small iron cannon ball is made of iron. Cannon balls were used as ammunition for a cannon and fired at a target. This cannon is only 8 cm round, or 4.15 inches, and is likely to have been called a 4-pounder due to its weight and the gun from which it would be fired. Six 4-powder cannons were recovered from Endeavour Reef, Queensland, in 1969. They were from Captain Cook's HMS Endeavour, thrown overboard when the ship struck a reef there in 1770. They are likely to have been mounted on deck cannon carriages on the ship. Similar 4-pounder cannons were mounted on gun carriages and used as field guns. The cannon ball, or round shot, is made from cast iron. The molten iron is poured into the small opening of a two-piece mould. The seam between the moulds sometimes leaves a round mark on the ball, and as seen in this cannon ball, there is a flat area. These marks were often filed to make the ball smooth. Cannons with cannon balls as ammunition were installed at Warrnambool for protection from possible invasion in the mid-to-late 19th century and early 20th century.Cannon ball, iron, black with a pitted shiny surface. It has three flat areas and evidence of a seam around the circumference. There are remnants of a possible inscription stamped into the iron. The cannon ball is a four-pounder ball.Remnants of an indecipherable stamp and / or red text.flagstaff hill, flagstaff hill maritime museum and village, warrnambool, maritime museum, maritime village, great ocean road, shipwreck coast, cannon ball, ammunition, cannon, fortifications, military equipment, firearm, weapon, two-piece mould, seam line, four-pounder, 4-pounder, field gun, field ammunition, gun carriage, cast cannon ball -
