A Leather Cover for the Touch-Hole

A Leather Cover for the Touch-Hole

There is a piece of leather covering the touch-hole of this cannon. The leather likely helps to keep moisture out of the cannon, and may also be used as a stall when the cannon is loaded. This cannon is on the gun deck of Fort Matanzas.
