A grant has been awarded to restore a
Civil War cannon recovered from a similar steamer paddle ship |
|
|
A grant (up to
$8,000) has been awarded to the City of Newberry to restore a Civil War cannon given to
the city in 1995.
The cannon was recovered from The Governor that was caught in a 1861 storm off the
SC coast. Seven men were killed but over 400 men were rescued.
The restoration is being done in the Charleston area and was started on 1/21/10.
It will take a couple of years to complete. |
