1864 cannonballs donated to Maritime Museum of BC

Three cannonballs, part of a bombardment of Ahousat Indian Village on Vancouver Island by the Royal Navy in 1864, being donated as museum exhibits.
Original caption: "Three century-old cannon balls, fired in anger at the Ahousat Indian Village on the west coast of Vancouver Island 100 years ago by the Royal Navy, have been turned over to the Maritime Museum of B.C. The relics were presented to Lieutenant-Governor G. R. Pearkes for transfer to the museum when he visited Ahousat on board HMCS Margaree. Shown examining the suitably-mounted cannon balls are, left to right, Cdr. J. L. Panabaker, commanding officer of the Margaree, Commodore A. G. Boulton, chairman of the board of trustees of the Maritime Museum, and Col. J. W. D. Symons, director of the museum. One was a mortar shell with its powder charge and had to be deactivated by navy divers before becoming a museum piece."
