Niko Brinck’s observations
Another Horsmonden cannon in the Wreckmuseum of Terschelling, NL. It was cast in 1623 by John Browne as his initials I B are near the touch hole. It is an iron saker, probably cast for land-use in Ireland as it shows a small club on the first reinforce. The gun was found by the divers of the island in a wreck of an Amsterdam warship and the gun shows the arms of this Admiralty.
