Anyone know a good place to get a decent priced signal cannon for a my sailboat? I don't really want to spend over $500 for one and would prefer a swivel mount over an under carriage. Anyone? Also are these legal on the water as long as you shoot blanks?
I have my Grandfather's 10 gauge signal cannon in my hallway facing out a window. He passed over 30 years ago. I'll never forget him and see it every night when I come home.
There is a marine foundry near Port Townsend Wash. A fine selection of cast cannons but I don't think you can buy one you'd be proud off for 500. Mine is carriage style thru a gun port with a 100 caliber bore I collected scrap gun metal bronze valves and had it cast .Since I'm big on recycle I only fire toilet paper with black powder charge. Over 40 bucks a month for powder. It's a business expense. Part of the shtick on the tallship Thane
nOwOrries There are several vids and shots on facebook. I'm computer challenged but you can get there thru my home page at threehoursail.com .1 inch=100 caliber .I tried to find out its range firing flashlight dry cells but they just vaporized and I gave up.
