ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Small starter cannons, often referred to as signal cannons or saluting cannons, were primarily used for ceremonial and signalling purposes. In the 1800s, bronze was a favoured material for these cannons due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of casting into intricate designs. Bronze starter cannons were commonly used on ships to signal the start of a race or event, announce the arrival or departure of a vessel, and during celebrations or military salutes. Their portability and reliability made them ideal for use both on land and at sea.
