One of 17 Revolutionary War-era cannons that underwent extensive preservation at Texas A&M University’s Conservation Research Laboratory. The cannons and other artifacts were recovered from the Savannah River in 2021 during the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project and later transported to the Conservation Research Laboratory for conservation. Researchers believe the items originated from HMS Savannah, which the British scuttled in 1779 to block French ships from sailing upriver to aid American forces during the American Revolutionary War. The artifacts are scheduled to return to Savannah for display at the Savannah History Museum.
