After 21 full and partial cannon and various other artifacts were discovered and brought out of the Savannah River during the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project dredging operations in 2021-2022, officials from the Corps of Engineers, Coastal Heritage Society, the Commonwealth Heritage Group and Texas A&M, collaborated to make the conservation and ultimate return of the 17 fully intact cannon to Savannah come to fruition.
The cannon and artifacts have been at the Texas A&M Conservation Research Laboratory since arriving there Feb. 2, 2023. Since that time, the conservation team diligently worked to restore the artifacts to a like-new condition, preparing them for long-term curation and public display at the Savannah History Museum.
