Book: Jack Bell Page 510

Location Recovered: Spanish Fort

Description:These have become almost impossible to find for a variety of reasons. I think at least 75% broke off the projectiles upon firing and most of those broke apart. Also, a lot of people salvaged the copper from these in the early days (particularly early Fort Fisher area diggers -- we know who you were!). The few that do come available, people hold onto to put on shells, but I also think they are neat in their own right.

This one is completely intact and has only slight warping.
