The Naval Gun is often regarded as one of the most important inventions in maritime history. This devastating piece of technology allowed Europe to conquer the ocean. They were used for blasting enemy ships, rigging, and crew.
In movies, video games and artwork, portrayal of the gun is usually relegated to broadsides: full rows of artillery firing all at once. Reality would have been quite different - much slower and methodical. By understanding how these weapons actually worked, and knowing how they were operated, we can paint a very different picture.
