importance and significance are quite relative and I have the impression you 
are imagining the bar much higher than what we usually apply for historic.

a cannon which is still in the context where it was once used can always be 
seen as historic, it doesn’t need to be important or of exceptional 
significance (e.g. by having a plaque attached, being dedicated to 
something/someone, having appeared in a historic text, having belonged to 
someone famous/powerful, etc.).
