A Spanish “Long Nine” cannon is displayed at Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, Sept. 6, 2019, in St. Augustine, Florida. The gun, circa 1750 A.D., fired nine-pound iron balls at a maximum distance of three miles. It is believed to have been in use until 1763, when the Spanish left St. Augustine in English hands. Some believe Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon landed at the site of the Fountain of Youth in 1513. The privately-owned 15-acre park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
