  1. Reconstruction of an 18-pounder pivot gun employed aboard a small warship, 1820-40. Pivot and slide based on drawings by Howard Chapelle.
  2. Quick-and-dirty digital model of the swivel gun recovered from the wreck of La Belle (1684), excavated in Matagorda Bay, Texas, 1995-97. Based on a drawing by Donny L. Hamilton, found in "Modeling La Belle: A Reconstruction of a Seventeenth Century Light Frigate," Master's Thesis by Glenn P. Grieco, Texas A&M University, 2003.
  3. I was searching for more info regarding the longboat especially how they were painted, and came across this website containing lot of useful info. I thought this book could be very useful for many of us to get in-depth about the artillery. Enjoy, http://www.privateermedia.com/Publishing/book1.htm
  4. I've had a this book in my collection for a few years now and thought I would post a quick review. I have a printed copy I ordered through Amazon but it is now available via Google. I have found it to be a nice addition to my library and instrumental in making the gun carriages for my Enterprise of 1799. http://books.google.com/books/about/A_Treatise_of_Artillery.html?id=vylEAAAAYAAJ This book was originally published in 1780 and this is the 3rd Edition. It covers everything dealing with the general construction of brass and iron guns, mortars and howitzers used by ships and on land. It reveals how to calculate the dimensions of all carriages and beds used in artillery with numerous charts and illustrations. It covers both English and French guns. Discusses how much powder was used and the range in yards depending if it be a long gun or short gun and how much powder. It gives very specific details on how to calculate the diameter of the shot, the caliber of the gun, and the thickness of the metal and well...it contains a wealth of information for the model ship builder intent on making their own cannons and carriages or who is simply interested in learning more about the construction of period ship guns.
