The Demolition of the Nimrod-- Part 2: The Cannonball Hole

The 1814 cannonball hole from the HMS Nimrod was preserved and is still visible today from the inside of the structure.  As such, it is a direct link to Falmouth's history.

In 2014, a big deal was made about the bicentennial of that 1814 attack and yet that did not mean that the building would be forever preserved.  As a matter of fact, the structure might just be on kits way to extinction.

J. Malcolm Donald and his group, the Save the Nimrod. Org has been working to save the Nimrod and thought at one time that they had succeeded.  Now it appears that the town is going to lose the building by neglect.

They are hoping this does not happen.
