Question about cannons (new pics)

[Smithbrown]

I will leave it here for a bit!

Last of the British guns- the Blomefield- the gun that won the Napoleonic wars. This is the website for HMS Colossus, lost 1798- shows the guns below sea and the what the guns should looke like- much simpler, more streamlined- has a ring on the cascable.

You asked about gunfounder's marks on cannons. One source is "History Under the Sea" by Mendel Perterson (City of Washington, Published by the Smithsonian Institution--1965).

Hello Mackaydon,

Thanks for the name of the book. I have got "Funnel of Gold" from Mendel Peterson by chance but I did not know about his other book.I will try to get it. Thanks!
