9 O'Clock Gun

9 O'Clock Gun
Every evening at 9 o'clock, this old naval artillery gun blasts a deafening shot from its barrel. The sound used to be a signal for fishermen—they knew to return to the harbour following a day's work. The daily signal continues to serve its purpose until today. If you choose to come watch the gun go off, make sure to keep a safe distance or cover your ears.
