This cannon is a more modern take on the ancient art of cannon building. These cannons are used by the military [navy]. This particular cannon is located in Wales and fired ceremonially. The only trouble we still have with cannons is the risk of injury when operating, but these risks are much lower today.

I liked how you added that picture in to show how the actual cannon looked like. It shows a vast improvement and modification from your pre-1700s cannon, the Pot Au Fer. You seem to be missing the creator, how it operates, the effectiveness, the nation that used it, the cost, and the technical details of materials.
