The great Antonio Barcel designed gunboats during the Great Siege of Gibraltar in 1779, where they proved to be terrific rivals despite their small size. They were fast, manoeuvrable, and armed with a large 24inch (600mm) cannon in the bow. Their effectiveness was decisive in getting close to the coast, especially with light winds and calm seas, as they could move by sail or oar.
