Thousands of visitors to the V&A Waterfront have seen the huge Cannons mounted on immense gun-carriages on the Ramparts and at the entrance of the Chavonnes Battery Museum, but hitherto few have known anything about their history. These seven cannons are part of the largest selection of Muzzle Loading Cannons and inside the Museum are fascinating models and detailed displays and exhibits and Cannons that still fire a shot of black power.

Able Seaman Just Nuisance continues to hold a cherished position for many.
In Simon's Town there is a statue in his honor and the Simon's Town Museum has his original collar, he even has a hiking trial in his name.
Now the spirit of adventure of Able Seaman Just Nuisance has been brought to life in a delightful book and soon to be released Movie.
Following on the very successful launch at the Simon's Town Museum, Sherri Rowe, the author / scriptwriter and part of the team championing this effort, will be in attendance to sign copies and we are hoping to persuade Argo, (aka Just Nuisance) to join us. We hope you will too!
All proceeds of the sale of the book are for the Simon's Town Museum.
