Iron muzzle-loading smoothbore 4-pounder gun (now on a replica sea carriage). Calibre: 3 1/4in. Marks: crown over GR 2 No14 Broad arrow 11-2-7. G on right-hand trunnion. One of six guns from Captain Cook's 'Endeavour' salvaged from the Great Barrier Reef off Queensland in 1969. 'Endeavour' sailed with ten 4-pdr guns. Six were jettisoned after the ship struck the Great Barrier Reef and was holed, twenty miles of the land, and had to be lightened to get her off a coral spur. This is one, the marks including its weight of 11 hundredweight, 2 quarters, 7 pounds (c. 607 kg): it was recovered with others by an Australian expedition to mark the bicentenary of Cook's 'Endeavour' voyage and presented to the Museum in 1969 after conservation treatment. The ship also carried twelve swivel guns.
