"BALTIMORE -- The State Fire Marshal's office said Wednesday that dredging crews have uncovered what appear to be three Civil War-era cannonballs in a Baltimore waterway.
Deputy Fire Marshal Joseph Zurolo said an eight-inch cannonball discovered this week was one of three found recently.
He said employees for Weeks Marine are dredging in Baltimore's harbor for future construction work. They notified authorities Tuesday after finding a cannonball on a barge.
The cannonballs are being tested to determine if they're still explosive. Zurolo said two of the three are in good condition.
He told the Baltimore Sun that the third "had more weathering." "
I thought a cannon ball went into the cannon on top of the explosive charge packet and the force of that packet exploding forced the cannon ball out of tha cannon towards its target.
How can a cannon ball still be "explosive"?
