 double barrel cannon by doug48 located on the grounds of the athens city hall is the double barrell cannon. the cannon was designed by john gilleland and it's purpose was to shoot two cannon balls that were connected by a chain. the idea was to shoot it at advancing infantry and the chain was to mow down more solders than a conventional cannon shot. the idea did not work because the two powder charges could not propel the shots simultaneously and the chain always broke. the two cannon shots were erractic and the cannon was never used in battle. an interesting relic of georgia's military past. Address: 301 college ave.Directions: downtown.
