Title Police seal off road in Hong Kong after ‘bomb’ found, turns out to be cannon barrel Media name/outlet mustsharenews.com Country/Territory Hong Kong, China Date 9/07/25 Description Professor Kwong Chi-man, a military historian from the Hong Kong Baptist University, told SCMP that the weapon was a coastal defence gun commonly found in British defensive ports, believed to be either mounted on a coastal battery or aboard a naval vessel.
It probably wound up underground after being decommissioned and abandoned, he said.
While it was likely made in Britain in the late 19th century, he was uncertain when it arrived in Hong Kong.
However, he determined that it was not connected to World War II.Persons Chi Man KWONG
