This one is located right next to a beautiful statue of a military and navy soldier. This is one of the bigger cannon's I've found and the second one that has had a cannonball pried loose. The missing cannonball is behind some bushes towards the front of this tiny park. The only stamp I see is F.P.No759 and 9340lbs. I'm guessing Fort Pitt? Hopefully I'll get some good info to add to these soon. Happy Waymarking, Swizzle & Family
