Bombshell report: Lewes cannonball found!

The cannonball from the Lewes Maritime Museum at the Cannonball House along Front Street has been returned. The disappearance grabbed the attention of the First Town in the First State, prompting a slew of amateur detectives to take up the case both online and at the site itself.

“The case of the cannonball caper has come to a close,” said Lewes Historical Society Executive Director Andrew Lyter at a press conference outside the Cannonball House. He said the return of the symbol speaks to the community of Lewes.

Zwaanendael Museum Lead Historical Interpreter Devon Filicicchia found the missing cannonball on the sidewalk in front of the Fisher-Martin House along Kings Highway on her way into work the morning of Feb. 23.

I expect a long legal battle over who owns the movie rights to this riveting true crime drama.
