Cannon LiftingIf it wasn't nailed down, you can bet that many of the Oldtime Strongmen tried to lift it - and succeeded more often than not. Here George 'Rasso' Stanglemeier lifts a cannon and two more fellows along for the ride. Stanglemeier was particularly adept at heavy supporting feats and I bet this one went over very well during his performances.
