Kate Souris Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 As promised, Jack. Thought some other folks might like to see the photo also. Sorry it's on the weird angle...it was the only way I could get the whole boomy in and still get some of the detail from it. And of course....it was behind glass. We saw this at the Royal Ontario Museum and the tag said that it was an English Heavy Musketoon, dated 1700-1720's-ish.
Capt. Sterling Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Very nice... "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
