Note: WAREHAM -- A cannon from a British warship that raided Wareham in the War of 1812 has found a new home at the Wareham Public Library.
The 600- to 700-pound cannon, tossed overboard when the HMS Nimrod went aground off Cuttyhunk 186 years ago, was taken from a temporary resting place at Burr Brothers Boats in Marion yesterday, and carted to the library.
It will be exhibited in a water solution designed to prevent rust and deterioration.
"It's absolutely stunning," said Nancy Miller, chairwoman of the town's Historical Commission. .......

The Nimrod was a scourge of Buzzards Bay during the War of 1812, when the British blockaded the bay to bottle up and destroy American shipping.
In January 1814, a Tarpaulin Cove innkeeper overheard a group of British officers discussing a planned attack on Falmouth in order to capture two brass cannons that had been a nuisance. The Nimrod showed up off Falmouth, where its militia was well dug in, and was defied by Capt. Weston Jenkins, who invited the British to "come and get it."
The Nimrod responded with a bombardment that damaged 30 homes, but departed the next morning without their prizes: the cannons of the Nantucket sloop.
In June of that same year (1814), the Nimrod was back creating mischief, and after guns at Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven discouraged the British from coming ashore, the Nimrod was later sighted coming to anchor about four miles south of Bird Island off Marion, where it discharged about 200 marines in six barges that headed for Wareham.
Ebenezer Bourne of Wareham, who witnessed the arrival, sailed his own boat over to the Narrows to warn the village.

Note: After the death of Thomas Hambleton, Lydia Wing and her sons, Daniel and Thomas returned to Sandwich, Massaschuetts. Quaker records support the fact that she and her two sons lived alone in Sandwich in apparent poverty. The records suggest that this was a great concern to her father, Daniel Wing.

1678 to 1683...Several references are made in the Men's Monthly Meeting (Quaker) to providing "a more convenient place" for Lydia Hambolton and her children." For whatever reason, Lydia persistently refused their offers but she did accept shoes, wool, food and money from the Women's Monthly Meeting...which is recorded in their minutes from 1677 through 1683.
