An Historically Important late 18th century Turkish Bronze Cannon seized during the Dardanelles Operation by Admiral Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1st Baronet, GCB February 1807 The 3 1/2 inch bore, plain three stage barrel with decorated touch hole, ringed decoration to cascabel and tapered button, inscribed above the touch hole with the imperial Tungra for Abdul Hamid I (1774-1789) and Rumi calendar date 1197 (A.D.1781), also marked with weight of 6 kantar and barrel length of 8 karis (1.789 metres), mounted on a later oak and iron bound sea service style truck, 203cm overall length * Admiral Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1st baronet, GCB (1747-1817) the son of a vicar began his Royal Navy career at the age of 11. Serving during the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and as Governor of Newfoundland in the War of 1812, he is often overshadowed by many of his better known contemporaries of the period. On 14 May 1808 he married Susannah Catherine Buller, daughter of Willi m Buller, the Bishop of Exeter. During his term as Governor of Newfoundland he resided in Weare House, Weare Park Topsham, which he purchased in 1804. Appointed as second in Command of the Mediterranean Fleet in 1805 aboard H.M.S Royal George, he was instructed to take possession of the Turkish fleet in Constantinople due to the fear of French sympathies by the Turks. Turkish forces had heavily fortified the Dardanelles with batteries along the shore and the British fleet fought its way to lay off Constantinople in order to provoke the Turkish Fleet into battle. Anchored off the island of Brota (now know as Kinali) Turkish forces were spotted landing in an attempt to erect a battery in the old monastery of the Transfiguration within range of the British squadron. Under cover fire from H.M.S Repulse and H.M.S Lucifer marines were dispatched to neutralise the threat. Though the Turks swept the landing party with grapeshot they soon fled and the remaining eleven men together with a boat and the two guns to be i stalled were captured. One of the captured guns was subsequently presented to The Greenwich Royal Hospital School by H.R.H Ernest Duke of Cumberland in 1806 and is known as the Holbrook cannon. The other remained at Weare House, now known as Exeter Golf and Country club The cannon was given to the current owner’s forbear by Sir George Duckworth King whose home was Weare House See illustration front and inside front cover
