Buccaneer Pirate Cruise of Destin, a locally owned and operated tourist attraction has announced the acquisition of a larger and much louder cannon for their pirate ship adventure cruise. According to management, the new cannon is built in a way that will allow for repeated firing without requiring the time-consuming process of reloading shells as was done with their original cannon. As would be expected, a larger cannon translates into a louder cannon. In fact, the cruise operator claims that the new cannon will be the loudest on the Gulf Coast and they are quite eager to prove just how loud it is. This will almost certainly come in handy when taking tourists along the Destin Harbor by surprise. From the time Buccaneer Pirate Cruise began offering their signature pirate cruise, the firing of the cannon has been an exciting part of the cruise experience for kids and adults alike. As you would expect, the owners believe that a louder cannon can only make the cruise experience better for their onboard spectators. So next time you're in Destin and you hear a loud boom, chances are that now you’ll know where it came from.
