This is from our internal news letter but is public knowledge. Pretty fascinating if you ask me.
After they got the tank out of the way (see April 8 edition of Friday Report), the crew working on the initial stages of the upgrade of the Halifax Armoury uncovered four cannons. Work with the heavy machinery stopped to let archeologists excavate around them (see photos). The guns, which weigh 15 tons each and were likely of a type that was in common use for coastal defence in the 19th century, have been taken to CFB Shearwater for cleaning and inspection.
