While snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef, we came upon a coral encrusted canon and what I think is the pintle of the ship. The pintle is 33" long and is solid brass, very heavy. The spikes are all hand made and about 6" long:

The canon is about 1 meter long with no other information other than what is show in the photo:

Would like an idea of what size ship would have these dimensions of rigging and canon and what century it might be.

Also, there is a ton of brick ballast.

Thanks!
 

No Idea myself, but you may want to throw this in the Shipwreck section as well.

Nice photography work as well, the colors in that second photo are stunning.

Welcome to the boards
