4.22.2017 Safety Training

                       We are ready to meet the Public for the Summer of 2017

Safety Drill

                   
                          Before the beginning of our Summer Schedule. Each Cannoneer is put through a thorough drill for Safety.  The drill/training is a full day of training and each recruit is tested on all positions that he/she may hold during the firing of the cannon. The position of Gunner, usually a Corporal, is only held by a person that has worked with the cannon for many years.  The Gunner calls the commands to the crew, and makes sure everyone is doing what they need to do, safely, before the cannon is fired.  The Corporal is in the center with his hand in the air.

Safety Training

                       

                        A safety drill is done with re-enactors each time they go to a reenactment.   The drill is necessary at each reenactment on a daily basis to secure everyone is on-board with the correct safety measures to take a position on the Cannon.
