MEXICAN LARGE GRAPE SHOT BALL, THE ALAMO. 1836, SAN ANTONIO RIVERThis Mexican 6 pound grape shot ball
was found in the San Antonio River when the River Walk was being constructed
It is about 1 5/16” in diameter & is in good condition with light/medium to medium pitting & has a brown patina & still has a little river bottom encrustation attached
NOTE - I use a generic picture as I have several & they all are in about the same condition.
See the smaller canister shot found with this grape shot listed separately. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.
*On February 28, 1836 the Mexicans established artillery batteries, initially about 1,000 feet from the south and east walls of the
Alamo
.
A third battery was positioned southeast of the fort. Each night the batteries inched closer to the Alamo walls.
