Mortar Barrels

Mortar barrels were specialized artillery components found on old sailing ships. They were large, cylindrical structures used to house and launch mortar shells. Mortar barrels were typically made of cast iron or bronze, known for their durability and resistance to high pressures. They were securely mounted on the ship’s deck or gun carriages to ensure stability during firing. The primary purpose of mortar barrels was to deliver explosive shells in a high-arcing trajectory, providing long-range indirect fire. Mortars were particularly effective against targets on land or ships at a distance, as they could lob shells over obstacles such as fortifications or defensive structures. The design of mortar barrels allowed for the controlled launch of the shells with a specific trajectory and angle, giving them a distinctive lobbing or plunging trajectory.
