NEW YORKA dangerous and historic discovery was made in Central Park on Fri
day afternoon.
Parks workers came upon a live cannon ball, loaded in a cannon that is getti
ng refurbished, CBS 2's Lou Young reported exclusively.
The loaded artillery piece was one of two Revolutionary War-era cannons bein
g stored at the park's Ramble shed near the 79th Street transverse. Preserva
tion workers for the Central Park Conservancy called police about mid-day af
ter opening up the capped cannon for cleaning.
The NYPD released a picture of what its officers found: more than 800 grams
of black powder still capable of firing, along with cotton wadding and a can
nonball CBS 2's Young spotted being carried in a white cloth by a Conservanc
y employee.
For John Moore, who is working on a book called The Secrets of Central Park,
this is a new one. |
