1728. A signal cannon from the early to mid 1800's, the placard in front of it reads:

...these were used both on land and on the rivers of the early United Sates. On land they might be found at trading posts or town centers to signal anything from celebrations to impending attack by enemies. Riverboats and steamers used them to signal their approach in fog, around river bends, or when nearing a landing point.
