Yorktown, Virginia, USA. Upon the capitulation of Yorktown by the British, the Americans were now in possession of 244 artillery pieces, with 8000 British and German troops having surrender their armaments and ten stands of colors, thousands of muskets, twenty-four transport ships, and hoses and wagons. All artillery pieces were inscribed with "Surrendered by the Capitulation of York-Town Oct 19, 1781" This is one mounted on a display at Surrender Field.

My eye are no longer strong enough to read that Thad. Nice carving on this cannon - no longer for destruction but just an attraction:

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Thad, 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' on the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom of a British canon surrendered by the Americans would have cost 'some' pain by the British.
Nowadays we are more able to see this in a proper historical perspective.
Good detailed capture of this canon.

They sure had a head start on a Weapons factory, Thad.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Great piece of history!

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
The post work really brought out beautiful rich colour and detail, you can see the wear and tear, loving all the history you are teaching us along with the fabulous captures

A great shot of the spoils of war, Thad. The forensic team should check to see if this one was used to shoot that house not too long ago. Nice details and colour in the photo.
