After 21 full and partial cannon and various other artifacts were discovered and brought out of the Savannah River during the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project dredging operations in 2021-2022, officials from the Corps of Engineers, Coastal Heritage Society, the Commonwealth Heritage Group and Texas A&M, collaborated to bring the conservation and ultimate return of the 17 fully intact cannon to Savannah come to fruition. Now, almost 250 years after the British scuttled their ships in the Savannah River in 1779, the Savannah History Museum is the final resting place for two un-conserved and 17 fully conserved cannons.
