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.

 

[KAYA61]

Of course. I'm still researching.

I am sorry, Allan, but I cannot explain it. As one can see from post #282, Kuba (@kuba91nt) had no problem finding and downloading the documents he needed from this Spanish archive. My attempt to access it today was also successful, as were all the others. Perhaps there are some access restrictions related to the general political situation, I really do not know...

This website works so well, and is so much information there, that i have to go to my neighbor's wife's at night to learn Spanish, so i can translate it because i can't sleep...

Buenas noches señora. Canon español para traducir.
