Making Cannon

[-Waldemar-]

Do you think i should leave the low-caliber guns undecorated and only include a 24-gun as the main decor gun?

No, no, no. You can't pass that decision on to me, sorry .

Do you perhaps have a 16pdr or 24-gun from this period?

The 16-pound calibre is not a system calibre in Spanish naval artillery. Instead, I am sending you a standard, i.e. system 18-pound cannon. In addition to the 24-pound one, as requested. Both are from the same 1783 system as the earlier reproduced 36-pound gun (all Spanish archives ).

Lesson learned. The most interesting thing is that none of them are decorated.
This site is amazing. Thank you.

This site is amazing.

A treasure trove, isn't it? And I see you're becoming even more adept than me at quickly finding the things you need. For a change, I'm getting slower and slower at these things . Good luck!

There is a book on this subject, "Naval Patternmaking Technique and Application" by Isidre Oliveras Parera, which belongs to the Barcelona Museum.

Is this that book? There's probably no way to access it...

@kuba91nt A friend of mine came across a copy of this book at a fair during his trip to Argentina and took photos of some of the pages and sent them to me. I also searched the internet but couldn't find anything.

This is valuable information. If you ever see a description of the 36-pounder gun somewhere, let me know out of curiosity.
