In 1981 a miniseries entitled I Remember Nelson aired on British television and recently became available on DVD. Among props appearing in the film were realistic looking 24-pounder cannons. After production was complete, the director presented a brace of the guns to Douglas Reeman. Since that time, one gun has 'stood guard' over the Reeman garden from the terrace of the author's home. The other was donated to the Sea Scouts. In 2010, Christopher Hall was engaged to restore the cannon, which had been assaulted by the elements over the years. To view a photo essay of the restoration process, please click on SON OF A GUN!
