Everyone in Bangor knows about the U-Boat gun in Ward Park Image but most forget about the other naval gun on public display, situated in the car park beside Bangor Abbey. It is a little cannon taken from the Ulster Privateer 'The Amazon' that was wrecked in Ballyholme Bay on 23rd February 1780. See Image for full details.
