Stanley park里的古久大炮

zhaizhai

不看图片真不知道它以前是前镗大炮，难怪要改成电气系统的，前镗大炮填药和发射都比较麻烦，而且不太安全。

Walking along the Seawall, you will discover the Nine O'Clock Gun. Made of copper, tin and antimony, it was cast in 1816 in England.

It used to be the duty of the lighthouse keeper to detonate a stick of dynamite at exactly 9:00 pm each night for ships in port to set their chronometers.

At the urging of the Brockton Point lighthouse keeper, William D Jones, the original cannon was replaced by an electric system.

You can still hear the fire each evening at 9:00 pm, it’s an heritage from the past.

那就好

不过大炮只保留了外观，内里已经被改造了
