Cannon Barrels

Cannon barrels were important components of the artillery on ships, serving as the main body of the cannons used in naval warfare. Typically made of iron or bronze, cannon barrels were designed to withstand the immense pressures generated during the firing of projectiles. The barrels featured a smooth bore, allowing for the swift and accurate passage of ammunition. Cannon barrels came in various sizes, with larger ships carrying cannons of different calibers and weights. The barrels were mounted on sturdy wooden or metal carriages, allowing for easy maneuverability and adjustment. The design and craftsmanship of cannon barrels evolved over time, with improvements in metallurgy and construction techniques, resulting in more powerful and effective naval artillery.
