Īle Sainte-Marguerite: Canonball Ovens Īle Sainte-Marguerite: Canonball Ovens No Data

Description


The remains of two cannonball ovens exist on the island. These were used to create red-hot ammunition which could then be fired at any ships. One near Pointe du Dragon in the South West corner of the island is pretty well preserved, but the other in the North East corner at Pointe du Vengeur has lost it's roof so it's easier to understand how the concept worked.
