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.).
