AN 18th CENTURY FOUR POUNDER NAVAL GUN BELIEVED TO BE FROM HMS BOUNTY, 170cms long, barrel only, no trunnion. One of four such guns carried by this famous vessel on its trip to Tahiti to collect breadfruit under the command of Lt. William Bligh. Some officers and crew mutinied on the onward voyage and Bligh and colleagues were cast adrift to make an epic small boat voyage. The mutineers took the Bounty to Pitcairn where she was burned on 23rd January 1790. A significant and interesting part of British maritime history and the subject of books and well-known films.Two of the guns were subsequently raised in 1845. One of these was used to salute ships visiting Pitcairn but this practice was discontinued after a magistrate was killed by an accidental firing. This gun remained in Pitcairn for a time and was then removed; it is probably the gun that is the subject of this sale. The other of the two guns was taken to Norfolk Island, where it remains. A third gun was raised much later (1970s) and is in Pitcairn Island along with the fourth gun which was salvaged in 1998.Evelyn Stuart Parker (1869 - 1936) was a scion of the shipping and trading firm of Sandbach, Thinne and Co. of Liverpool. This gun was brought to Liverpool in 1898 by the company`s ship-rigged sailing vessel, Orealla. In 1913 Evelyn Stuart Parker purchased Little Cumbrae Island, off the Scottish North Ayrshire coast and the gun went there. In 1936, the island passed to Evelyn`s son, Ian Robertson Parker who in turn sold it, in 1960, to Peter Kaye, a businessman and engineering company owner. The Bounty gun was part of the sale to Peter Kaye, from who's estate it is now offered for sale.The sale includes a manuscript letter dated from Pitcairn, 5th April 1898, which was given to Captain Stewart, commander of the Orealla stating "This is to our knowledge the last of the HMS Bounty`s armament. This gun was fished up in Bounty Bay, Pitcairn Isle where she was wrecked". The letter is signed by "J.R. McCoy Pres." (Great grandson of William McCoy, one of the original mutineers).
