    Small update time with pictures again Dry fit the deck cannons to see how it looks. They need the breach rope , so that's for later. First I have to drill a few ( 40 ) holes for eyebolts and rings behind the cannons. No, I'm not going to rig all the cannons. Just the breach rope... I know, I'm lazy ! Also make the gun port lids on the starboard side and place all the cannons. Then finally I make the stairs against the hull so they can climb on board. Both sides are done with that.
