From the May 2017 News release of the friends of Fort Fisher.
The program is called "Deadly Showers of Cast Iron" and will be given Saturday, May 13.
The newly refurbished 32-pounder rifled and banded heavy seacoast cannon will be fired throughout the day from Shepherd's Battery and, there will even be a nighttime firing demonstration. The cannon was refurbished this past fall by funds from the Friends of Fort Fisher and a grant from the Society of the Order of the Southern Cross.
Firings of the cannon will be free and at 10 a.m., noon, 2, 4:40 and 4:45. The night time firing will be at 8 p.m. and will cost $5. Afterwards a replica of the Fort Fisher garrison flag flown over Shepherd's Battery will be raffled. Winner must be present.
Sure Wish I Could be There. --Old B-Runner
