Carronade Plans

[ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
The carronade was a short smoothbore, cast iron cannon,
developed for the Royal Navy by the Carron Company, an
ironworks in Falkirk, Scotland, UK. Also known as a smasher,
it was used from the 1770s to the 1850s. Its main function was
to serve as a powerful, short-range anti-ship and anti-crew
weapon. While considered very successful early on, carronades
eventually disappeared as long-range naval artillery led to fewer
close-up engagements.
