Inscription
Two cannons located at opposite ends of a meridian island each bear the same inscription.


This cannon of Civil War vintage was for many years an essential part of oil field tank farm equipment. It was used in making holes in a tank of oil when it caught fire to let the oil flow into the surrounding dyke before it boiled over from the heat or before it exploded and caused more serious damage to the immediate area.
