British 24 Pounder

Captured on the British flagship Confiance on Lake Champlain, September 11, 1814, by Commodore Thomas MacDonough.

This gun has a dent on the muzzle from an American shot which caused the gun to recoil and kill the British commander, Downie.

Marker can be reached from Holloway Road.
