Seapoint Martello Tower No.14 South Inaugurating the Cannon
Work days for me.
While the Seapoint Tower has been partly restored by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, it has only recently acquired a newly cast 24 pounder cannon.
On 10 July 2012 the cannon was getting its first test firing on location.
It had already been proof fired in England and declared fit for duty.
This inauguration was timed to coincide with the launching of a book on The Martello Towers of Dublin published jointly by the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Fingal County Councils.
