Thanks for the topic, NinjaToes. When I was looking for some other artillery information earlier in the week I came across a bunch of these Henry Morgan cannon articles, and I bookmarked a few.

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.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
