On offer is an antique cannon tampion plug recovered from a shipwreck, a rare surviving example of naval artillery equipment. Tampions were used to seal the muzzle of a cannon, protecting it from seawater, debris, and corrosion during periods of non-use. This piece shows extensive marine encrustation, the result of long-term submersion, giving it an authentic and evocative appearance.

Measuring just under 8 inches in length and approximately 4 inches at its widest point, the tampion retains its original wood and metal form beneath the natural deposits. As a genuine maritime artifact, it offers a direct connection to historic naval practice and seafaring life.

A compelling example of shipwreck-recovered naval material with strong historical appeal.
