The French also had an unusual way of rigging their iron 24 and 36 pounder carronades after about 1805. The breach rope was one continuous loop that ran outside the hull through special scuppers and sat in a lead trough that ran below the outside bottom of the port cill. Odd. It must have evened-out the recoil when the carronade was trained at an angle, but it made the breach rope vulnerable to enemy fire. The US Navy carronades of the period were double breached for extra security. But one of the breaches ran through the hull in lead scuppers and ended in a knot or a fid, while the other was secured on the inside to a ringbolt in a British fashion. I'm not sure which was the main breach, and which was the backup, or preventer breach.

I scanned these in from zu Monfeld. Hope it helps as they do match the ANCRE books. Apologies if the scans aren't "perfect" as I"m having an issue with the scanner and software.

That's the French method of rigging the gun tackle.

Thank you for the recommendation, Roger. The lot of research sounds not easy, but it is worth keeping on track. I'll focus on the famous ships until I get used to the various armaments from each country. The French ships are the next after I decipher the English ships.
Thanks again for all the comments. Your advice was very helpful in clarifying my destination.

Can’t help with kits, but artillery, shipboard armament, gun founding, etc is a highly technical subject by itself and separate from ship modeling. Different countries’ armories produced guns of their own design, and of course, ships could be armed with whatever was on hand including captured guns. The 1776 Gundalow Philadelphia recovered from Lake Champlain and displayed in the Smithsonian Institution was found to be armed with Swedish guns. Where did they come from?
So, it would seem to depend what you are trying to do. If you are just trying to dress up your cross section with a cannon, any gun of the correct period and scale should work. If you are trying to model a specific situation you need to do lots of research. If your model is French, check out the Ancre Publications,AND no brass cannon balls. Also, the Carronade was probably cast iron.

That is breathtaking art! I can't imagine how many techniques and knowledge you used to build the project from the plan.
