Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Ornamentation on the Miracle Cannon. The miracle cannon was part of a consignment of bronze cannon that were cast in the Bacorro Foundry in the Portuguese colony of Macao as a gift for João IV, king of Portugal. The ship in which the cannon were being transported to Portugal, the Sacremento, was lost off the South East coast of Africa in 1647, about 10 km from Port Elizabeth. This cannon was salvaged in 1977 and is now housed in the Prince Alfred's Guard Museum in Port Elizabeth.
The ornamentation on the cannon include the coat of arms of the Colony of Macao and the monogram of the Governor of India |
