Lieste Posted August 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I suspect the 24pdr "Columbiad" are captured 33cwt Govers, such as those used on shifting carriages in place of the forward and aftmost carronades on Constitution. Or anachronistic miss-attribution of carronades by later authors (e.g. the 32pdr 'Columbiads' sometimes attributed to USF Essex when she was captured).
