Twelve More American Revolution Cannons Found in Savannah River-- Part 1

From the February 9, 2022, WJCL ABC "Archaeologists discover a dozen Revolutionary War cannons in the Savannah River" by CNN.

This is a remarkable find that raises the question of what vessel had they been on before their trip to river bottom and, of course, why were they dropped.

The local district of the Army Corps of Engineers is in charge of deepening the river channel posted a video and photos about it.

Last month's raising of the rusty artifacts brings to the number of recovered cannons to fifteen, plus fragments of another one found over the last year in preparation for the river project.

"There is no telling what all is down there," says Corps district archaeologist  Andrea Farmer told CNN, saying, "so much of the river is unknown.
