i grew up in orlando and had multiple "field trips" to st. augustine. this cannonball fact was one of the more celebrated and (and funny) facts that they'd share with us. as we got older, our attention went from "cool fort" to "cool cannons" to "dont want to go to prison" to "excellent and resourceful engineering." unfortunately, as with so many other things, i didnt (or couldnt) fully appreciate it at that age
