English: Signal cannon on St. Helena Island, 1939
This cannon was kept on the island as a tool of warning to any vessels like fishing boats or pleasure craft which seemed to sail too close to the prison. A warning shot would be fired in the general direction of the offending vessel. The cannon is now the property of the Stafford district boy scouts and is standing at their hall.
