Jim joins Fritz Hanselmann and Panamanian Government officicals at Panama Viejo to announce the recovery of a group of cannon belonging to Captain Henry Morgan's fleet that lost five ships during Morgan's 1671 raid, which resulted in the destruction of Panama City. The guns, discovered during Jim's Waitt Institute and INA-sponsored mission, were at risk of plunder and were rescued for the Panamanian Government. They are undergoing treatment for museum display at Panama Viejo, the site of the ruins of the city Morgan destroyed.
