THIS CANNON IS ONE OF MANY THAT STAND ALONG THE FENCED IN PORT OF MUMBIA, INDIA. I'M NOT SURE WHEN OR IF THESE WERE EVER USED. I'M SURE THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY BEHIND THESE. I FOUND ABOUT SEVEN ALONG THIS IRON FENCE THAT RUNS ALONG THE PORT. YOU CAN HARDLY NOTICE THEY ARE THERE. I FOUND MANY FOUNDATIONS SO AT ONE TIME THERE MUST OF BEEN QUITE A FEW FOR DEFENDING THE PORT WHEN TIMES WERE DIFFERENT. THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN MARCH 2009 ON MY WAY OUT OF MUMBIA. YES THAT MEANS IT WAS TAKEN AFTER THE ATTACK IN MUMBAI IN NOV 26 2008. I WAS LUCKY THEN I WAS IN PARADIP INDIA, FAR AWAY FROM THE MUMBAI THAT TIME. MOST OF THESE CANNONS WERE PROBABLY ROBED AND SOLD OFF AS ARTIFACTS FROM INDIA.
