The cannons were fired at a German U-boat, they were not successful as the U-boat fired torpedoes sinking 4 ore carriers anchored off of bell island. One German torpedo actually struck the Dominion pier destroying the pier, the remnants of that pier can still be seen today.
Thanks for the added info.
