Three breech loading gun barrels laid on the grass in an unknown coastal location.

Three breech loading gun barrels laid on the grass on an elevated position above the sea in an unknown location. The screw breeches have been removed and one of the guns is date stamped 1875. The location was originally listed as Rarotonga Island but this cannot be correct as there is substantial land in the left background and Rarotonga Island has no substantial indentations on its coast and no offshore islands.
