You take some good photographs, GLS; thanks for posting them.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Oh man, have both of you not been paying attention, or what! The Seacoast boys are going to have to give you a much needed remedial lesson on that cannon.

Waiting, also. 

They'll be in from the shop soon and will give the detailed answer with a much deserved humorous comment about our collective and individual memories!   ;D

I'm sorry guys I forgot all about this, and besides that, I figured that the Seacoasters would have clued you in. OK, check out this GBO link to see if a miniature version of that gun, and the unique manner in which its trunnions are attached jogs your memories. If that didn't do it then you both need some pure oxygen, but who am I to judge. If you still need some help, go to GLS's opening post, eighth pic down, and read the placque. ;)
