there are two of the three inch guns used for salutes at The Citadel. In years past Cadets would attempt to drop things down the barrels as they marched by for parades until they finally moved the guns back a bit. A wad of firecrackers launched and lit by a blank can be interesting.
The Citadel also has a Sherman tank, a WAC Corporal Miss1le, a 37 mm AT gun, a Phantom Jet, One or more 24 pounder coastal gun barrels, the periscope assembly to a British sub that once haulked Mark Clark to North Africa.
There is another 3 inch at Starke Florida facing south on 441 in a Y intersection.
I believe the cannon on the "steps" ( actually one of three over sized steps that boarder the actual steps) of the Florida Capital where 6 pounders. When I asked where they had gone at the State Museum behind the capital some years ago I was told there had never been cannons on the front of the capital. Interesting as they were the high point of our trip to the old Sears in Tallytown and my parents more than once let me go play on them.
Over in Quincy there was a guy that had a 6 pounder in his front yard for years and no idea what happened to it in the late 60's.
There is an 8 inch howitzer in tow configuration in Williston FL. I will see if I still have some photos of that.
I think a thread for war monument weaponry would be neat IF the mods would give us a break on the BP thing for it so more modern cannon etc can be posted without fear of being moved or deleted.
In keeping with BP though here is a doctored shot of the real 3 inch rifle displayed in Archer Fl for events that is privately owned. I Photoshopped out some modern stuf and tourists just to make it look better.
