gmac101 Posted 11 August , 2019 Share Posted 11 August , 2019 The local diving club in Downing, Co Donegal, Eire retreived a 6 pounder from the wreck of the SS Laurentic in 2007. It's mounted on its original mount on the quayside there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyH Posted 13 August , 2019 Share Posted 13 August , 2019 The recovery of this must have been a major operation, given the considerable weight. Has survived remakably well. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
