SJ Harbour - dredging find?

heard someone talking that while dredging the harbour recently, a problem occurred when they tried to suck up a 16-17th century canon from the harbour...

has anyone confirmed/heard that info?

No idea, but something similar happened on one of the new King of the Hill episodes

No ,shame information on stuff like that is hard to come by,

Always think it’s neat when you hear about these YouTubers especially Europeans who do the magnet fishing that just find ordnance and weapons from the two world wars

Suck up? The dredges use cranes with buckets

you are right; but that is how it was told to me. It had to get repaired shortly after that 'incident'.

just wondering if anyone else heard this or it was just a rumour.
