Canon Found on "Kerkweg" During Road Restoration

First unearthing of the canon
On Friday morning July 4th, at the beginning of the road restoration of Kerkweg, the supervisor of the project, Mr. Luuk ten Heuvel and his employees saw part of a canon while the operator of the escavator was preparing the road for further construction. Immediately after, the Archaeologist Mr. R. Grant Gilmore lll, PhD, and his team were called on the scene and with his instruction they slowly unearthed and lifted the 6 pounder canon and had it removed a little distant from its location. The team began cleaning and dusting the artefacts. When Mr Gilmore has completed his findings the canon will be relocated at the St.Eustatius Historical Foundation Museum.
