Another item on display from the early history of the colony is the cannon and plinth from the HMS Sirius which was wrecked off the coast of Norfolk Island in 1790.
The captain of the Sirius at the time was John Hunter who then went on to become governor of the colony from 1795 - 1800.
The cannon was used as the signal gun on South Head from 1810 and joined the anchor in 1907.
