While visiting my parents cabin in Maine, we took a trip over the border to Canada to St. Andrews. This old cannon is pointed at the American coastline, it was a relic from the war of 1812, which pitted Canada (via the Brits) versus the U.S.
St Andrews is a quaint, sleepy little town of 2,000 on Passamaquoddy Bay off of the Bay of Fundy.
Above is the view of the Canadian coastline at sunset as seen from our cabin across the bay in the USA.
