"THE ANCHORAGE CARRONADES"

THE FIVE CARRONADES ON DISPLAY WERE CAST AT CARRON FOUNDRIES,
FALKIRK, SCOTLAND, (1801-1803). ADMIRAL NELSON CREDITED THESE
WEAPONS AS THE KEY TO VICTORY AT TRAFALGER, AS DID WELLINGTON
AT WATERLOO. THEY SERVED IN THE FORTS AND DEFENCES OF CANADA
UNTIL RETIRED BY MODERNIZATION. FROM MILITARY STORAGE IN
MONTREAL, THESE CARRONADES WERE BROUGHT TO PORT ARTHUR IN
1911 TO GRACE THE TERRACES FRONTING THE NEWLY BUILT
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE AND GORE PARK. PROGRESS SAW THE CANNONS
DISPERSED AND THESE FIVE WERE RELEGATED TO THE OBSCURITY OF
BLACK BAY BLUFFS. FROM HERE THEY WERE RESCUED BY THE NAVAL
VETERANS OF THUNDER BAY WHO RESTORED THEM AS ORIGINALLY SHIP
MOUNTED. TODAY THEY REST AS PART OF THE MARINERS' MONUMENT AT
THE ANCHORAGE FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF ALL.

THIS IS A BOULEVARD THAT WINDS IT'S WAY THROUGH HILLCREST PARK. IT IS LOCATED AT
ONE OF THE HIGHEST GEOGRAPHICAL POINTS IN THUNDER BAY AND OVER LOOKS THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE CITY. MANY VISITORS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS ALIKE WALK OR SLOWLY
DRIVE THROUGH THIS VERY SCENIC PARK TAKING IN THE BREATH STOPPING VIEW OF THE
SLEEPING GIANT AND THE MANY HISTORICAL PLAQUES, MONUMENTS AND FLOWER GARDENS
PLACED THROUGH OUT THE PARK.
