If you've ever been to Hamlin Park you've probably noticed that there are two rather large cannons right by the playground. They have informational plaques on them which indicate that they were used in the Battle of Manila Bay (in the Phillipines) during the Spanish-American War on May 1st, 1898. But there's no indication of why they're here in Shoreline WA. And how did they end up at Hamlin Park? Does anyone know?
Why are these two cannons in Hamlin Park?
