The Fog Cannon

The Fog Cannon
Taken at Wick Harbour which seemed to be the busiest part of Wick.
The cannon in this shot (pun intended!!) was actually a fog signal gun and was given to the Pulteney Harbour Trust by John Pender MP in 1881 for use by fishermen and visiting crafts and was in use until it was replaced by a fog horn warning system.

In 2011 the decision was made to re-site the cannon at Wick Harbour, as it was felt it was mostly going unnoticed and featuring it on the harbourside at Wick would add historical interest to the area for visitors.

I have added a song called 'Cannonball' by Damien Rice

It would Dominique but I doubt that it would ever be fired again, especially as it is now in the harbour and not in it's original location but it is good to see it and have the history.

An excellent perspective Carol. You have framed it with the delightful flower tub just right.

An ancient cannon and some recently blossomed flowers.
Different eras and different feelings: yesterday and today, war and peace .... I would always like to see harmless weapons like this!
All the best
