Georgia Museum to Display Cannons Recovered from American Revolution
A collection of 17 cannons, believed to have sunk during the American Revolution, has been transported to the Savannah History Museum in Georgia. These artifacts were discovered in 2021 during a dredging operation in the Savannah River, part of a project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to deepen the river's shipping channel. Initially thought to be from the Civil War, further research indicated that the cannons date back to the late 1700s, likely linked to the British occupation of Savannah in 1779. The cannons were preserved at Texas A&M University, where they underwent extensive cleaning and conservation. The museum plans to unveil these historical pieces in a new exhibit coinciding with the Fourth of July celebrations, marking America's 250th birthday.
