bear Posted January 27, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2018 Ahoy Mates Getting near the point where I need to know how the cannon balls and powder was set up on the deck of the Cheerful of this date 1806 with caronnades? Just about finished with all the guns now. Ready to start rigging them. My shipyard supervisor is not feeling chipper today since yesterday he had dental work-cleaning and extractions . Pickels has 12 less teeth today. The cat tooth fairy will visit him with fresh cat nip when he feels better and can enjoy it. He's doing as well as can be expected,today he's sleeping under my feet while I am writing this. Well back to the Cheerful's gun tackle and breaching lines.

jud Posted January 28, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 28, 2018 This is how we did it. Our magazines were full and we went through lots of ammo, not the approved method of storing ready service ammo, but demands for fire support were met. Don't know how they did it aboard the Cheerful, probably different. John Allen, JohnB40 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
