Description Raising the bronze 6-pounder with an ingenious device created by Chis Oldfield. He has welded a 4-legged construction to an abandoned fuel bowser and has secured a pipe between its top and bottom surfaces. This has allowed a wire to drop vertically to the sea-bed where it is secured with webbing straps to the underside of the gun. A simple hand-operated hoist is then used to lift the 1-ton object until it is right underneath the bowser.
