This cannonball (32 pounder), in the Russell Museum collection was found at Ruapekapeka by Ian Hilton when he was young on his parents farm nearby. It is 14cm in diameter and weighs 14.5kgs. It was recently donated to the Russell Museum by Jan Ferguson from the Butler Point Whaling Museum. Ian passed the cannonball onto Steve Crouch who was friends with the owners of the Butler Point Museum.

Check out this jacket - almost 100 years old and originally owned by Zane Grey before being given to his boatman, Peter Williams.

Peter arranged for the Avalon to be taken to Queensland for the 1929-30 fishing season. I know I could've used a jacket like this a few days ago! 🐠🐟🐋🧥
