We have what we think is the only existing water cooled Hughes Breech Loading Cannon and are looking for any and all additional information on it.

It was made by Street, Hungerford & Company in October of 1861 and our information is that there were only 12 made. They were used in the Battle of Island #10. Please see the link below for photos.

We are looking for any information on any other surviving cannons of this rare type, any drawings or plane, photos, sales information, other owners, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
