Firing of a model cannon
Shared by
Tairāwhiti Museum
"At precisely 10am last Thursday a model of one of Captain Cook's 3 1/2 lb cannons was fired on the steps of the Dominion Museum, Wellington, to coincide with the official opening of the Cook bicentenary celebrations in Gisborne. The picture shows some of the large crowds of school children who witnessed the ceremony. The cannon was exploded by the museum's curator of firearms, Mr W. Spiekman.
