The Sundial Cannon

sundial The Sundial Cannon - a Black Powder "Nooner" Cannon

The Sundial Cannon - "Noon Cannons" were developed in Europe during the early 1700's and history indicates about 300 were produced. These cannons were owned by royalty and used in palace courtyards, gardens, as well as summer retreats. Our cannon was developed from sketches, photographs and letters obtained from the Greenwich Maritime Museum in England and is specifically designed for North American latitudes. The "Noon Cannon" is hand-made of solid brass and teak, thus it may be installed outside without fear of damage, or kept indoors as a decorative piece. The cannon fires black powder and is supplied with the necessary tools for measuring the charge and loading (ramrod and loading shovel).
