This small cannon mounted on one of the tall ships visiting Yorktown's Riverwalk Landing  allowed sailors to swivel and aim a close quarters when battling an enemy.

    Very nice close-up! At first I thought it was a pop-gun!

    Wonderful photo. I don't think I've ever seen a wee cannon with a red stopper.
    Have a great day.
    Always, Queenie
