Relocate Visitor Center Cannon
​
The Howitzer Cannon had been sitting in the corner most likely since the refurbishment of the Torpedo Shed into a Visitor and Education Center. In line with the Friends of Fort Knox Board of Directors' intent to enhance the educational experience for visitors, the director moved the cannon to a more prominent location with the help of volunteers and in-kind donations. Now this display is adjacent the recreated torpedo (underwater mine). Guests entering the Visitor Center will be staring down the business end of the cannon
 Where it started |  |  Jacking up the barrel to fit the pallet jack under |
|---|---|---|
 Right tool for the job |  Moving with the pallet jack |  Handles like a dream |
 Using blocks and levers, just like the old days! |  Flat on the floor again |  Moving away the shoring after lowering to floor |
 Where it ended up |  In final location |  Business End |
