32 Pounder Cannon
This 32 pounder cannon was made at the "Carron Works" in Scotland in 1807, and is believed to have been part of the armament of H.M.S. St. Lawrence which was launched at Kingston Ontario in 1814.
H.M.S. St. Lawrence had 3 decks, a complement of 1000 men and carried 112 guns of which 50 were 32 pounders. The tonnage of 2,304 tons made H.M.S. St. Lawrence the worlds largest fresh-water line-of-battle ship.
