The first and only firing of an atomic artillery shell, the ATOMIC CANNON is now a beautifully restored 14x20 signed Collector's Print.
    On May 25th, a 280mm cannon with an atomic artillery shell made history. Code name, "Grable", this marked the first time and only time an atomic artillery shell was fired and detonated. The explosion had a yield of 15 Kilotons, the same force as the atomic explosion at Hiroshima.

    The fascinating image of this historic event was taken by Lookout Mountain photographer, Jack Cannon. The Atomic Cannon is a beautifully restored Collectors Edition print from Defense Department Archives. This Collectors Edition print has been reproduced using the highest quality inks on the finest grade matte finish paper.

    Silhoutted against a stark blue sky and the backdrop of the Nevada desert, a giant brightly lit mushroom cloud swells rapidly up and outward. Trails of silver smoke spiral skyward as a cloud of dust marks the path of destruction spreading over the landscape.
