The Nine O’Clock Gun is a historic 12-pound muzzle-loaded naval cannon, cast in Woolwich, England in 1816 and brought to Stanley Park in the mid 1890s. Mounted today in a small pavilion at Brockton Point overlooking Coal Harbour, it’s surrounded by a protective enclosure added after pranks like rock jamming and a 1969 student kidnapping. Originally fired at 6 p.m. on Sundays to signal the end of fishing, by 1898 it had become the city’s daily time signal—sounding at 9 p.m. PST so ships could set their chronometers. Modern operation is electric—the barrel is still loaded with black powder and triggered automatically; lights dim 10 seconds before the boom and snap back on afterward. Despite wartime silences, supply interruptions like black powder shortages in 2022, and occasional misfires, the blast continues to resonate nightly echoing tradition, maritime heritage, and Vancouver’s spirit.
