A cluster of large artifacts near the center of the ship contains three artillery pieces, an anchor, and smaller objects. The large gun on top of the pile measures about 10 feet long and is a 12 or 18 pounder (meaning it shot a cannon ball weighing 12 or 18 pounds). Fragments of the gun carriage embedded in the pile suggest this is a deck-mounted center-pivot long gun.
