Skule Cannon: Difference between revisions

The 1T3 cannon is made from a high strength, rare type of stainless steel, and has been heat treated for maximum strength. It has new structural designs, stronger materials, and other specifications that make it the strongest, loudest, and mightiest [[Skule]] Cannon to date." This cannon cost $7,500 to manufacture and receives non-destructive testing annually to ensure its safety.

A new cannon was forged to celebrate the [[Skule]] sesquicentennial (150th anniversary). The Mark 9 was revealed as part of a multi-cannon salute on Founding Day (March 29, 2023), where 8 Skule Cannons were fired along King's College Road (a replica of the Mark 1, while present, was not fired)—the largest multi-Skule Cannon firing to date. This multi-cannon salute included appearances by several generations of ex-Chief Attiliators, spanning back decades, and involved months of planning and safety testing to ensure the older cannons could be fired safely at the event.
