The Old Cannon
Os Edenton
{Continued From Page One)
Shipard (nine twenty-four pounders
and thirteen eighteen pounders) and
took his vessel, the Holy Heart of
Jesus, up Mattacomack, near where
the TJ. S. Government fish hatchery
is' now located and scuttled his boat.
(At very low tides the skeleton of this
vessel and others can be seen even
now.) He settled in Edenton, bought
property and reared a family, accord
ing to colonial records.
The history of these old cannon has
been varied since the day in 1778
when Captain Boritz threw them over
the rail.
Two of them now guard the en
trance of the State Capitol pointing
up Fayetteville Street in Raleigh.
Three of them are mounted on gran
ite at the foot of the Court House
Green, pointing out over Edenton Bay.
One of them is mounted on concrete
in a small park on Broad Street near
the county dock. One of them is used
for a “lean on” post at the comer of
Broad and King Streets on the most
prominent corner in Edenton near the
Bank of Edenton. This cannon has
been the silent witness of many con
versations and there has been many
business deals consumated while two
prominent citizens were draped over it
at various times. Another one is_
partly buried on the corner of Queen
and Granville Streets. This accounts
for eight of the guns, two in Ra
leigh and six in Edenton. The re
mainder of the twenty-three, the writ
er suspects, are sunken low in the
mud near the old Joseph Hewes Ship
yard and would require mining opera
tions to reclaim them.
It is very improbably that any of
these cannon were ever used in battle,
as there is no record where any of
them were carried from Edenton. But j
two of them served as a bluff during

the Civil War. They were mounted
on the Green overlooking Edenton
Bay by the Confederates. When the
Federal gunboats anpeared off Eden
ton Bay, the officers observed these
guns through their glasses and wait
ed awhile for them to start shooting.
As they did not shoot, the Yankees
became curious and came ashore.
When the officer saw these old relics,
he ordered his men to break the trun
nions off the guns saying that there
was more danger in the d things
for the ones who fired them from be
hind than would be to anyone in
front.
The information from which this
article is written was gathered from
colonial records and from personal ac
counts by Doctor Richard Dillard, of
Edenton.
