Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the cannons which, for some 150 years or so, have been used for mooring in the port of Senj. The author is of the opinion that these cannons have not been estimated properly and that they should be treated with more respect like all the other monuments of the past. In his further interpretation, proved by the illustrations, the author refers to the respective literature about the cannons of Senj and gives detailed description accordingly. In the opinion of the author, the whole matter requires perhaps further researches in the military archives of Wien and military arsenals at Augsburg and Innsbruck. At the end, the author outlines possible solutions for better judgement of the cannons of Senj.
