A large crowd photographs the last of five sunken cannons believed to be more than 200 years old recovered from the Detroit River on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011, in Detroit. Members of the Detroit Police Department Underwater Recovery Team hoisted the cannon behind Cobo Hall. The cannon is eventually expected to be displayed at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum in Detroit or the Detroit Historical Museum. Police divers found it during a training exercise in July.
