cleaning up nicely!!!
I've always been fond of having the sewer pipes along the front drive after they are cleaned and coated.
Got to lift the bloody things first....!!
Yeah, unfortunately that will probably require using an outside source with lifting and boating capabilities and that means giving up your site because that word will spread like fire.
Thought this was cool;
the amount of build-up over the "shot" is over 1/2 inch thick - how many years did THAT take!

So how long does it take to grow one inch of Coral/rock?

I wish I knew the answer to that question and some of the guys over on the Shipwrecks forum, may be able to answer that! From the different sizes of cannon shot (not the lead balls which are apparently Pistol and possibly Rifle shot) that I could see in the pics, my question is, what kind of ship would have been that heavily armed with such an assortment of different sizes of cannons. Is it possible that the ship was not a Pirate ship and was actually a heavily armed and heavily treasure laden ship, I truly believe so and hope so! For this reason, it is so much more important to bring up one or more of the sewer pipes, in hopes that the identity of the ship can be established and if there was/is a manifest, you will know what truly lays on the bottom and how big of a Super Yacht you will be able to afford!

Oh my God it's taken me two days on and off to get to the end of this amazing post. Great find!! Great work!!
You may find the old british military arrow on them which will indicate it was a Man of war or at least the sewer pipes were on one once. This may help with the research, also their composition, if there are a bunch of them, try to check if they are all made from the same material. If one or two are not iron you may be looking at a flag ship in one direction and of course a pirate ship in the other as they shipped whatever hardware they could get.
thanks frank- how will looking at the pipes identify the ship?
