What is the origin of 31 gun salute?
The origin of the 31-gun salute can be traced back to the 17th century maritime tradition. A warship would fire its cannons to demonstrate that it was disarmed and had no hostile intentions. The number 31 was chosen as a sign of respect to monarchs, as at the time it was customary for monarchies to be greeted with a 21-gun salute. By firing an additional 10 rounds, the 31-gun salute became a gesture of even greater honor.
