A cannon that dates back to the 17th century was discovered in the central province of Quang Ngai, on June 1.
Archaeologist Doan Ngoc Khoi from the Quang Ngai Museum said the cannon, the third found in the province so far, was used during the reign of the Nguyen Lords.
The black, cast iron cannon which is 1,420 mm in length and weighs 350-400 kg was found 50 metres from the water’s edge by workers from the Dung Quat Oil Refinery.
