We can now offer our 24PDR mounted on the beautifully crafted ship's
carriage by
wood artist Michael Elledge, aka ZULU (see credits
below). This solid oak carriage
replica
models a typical British four wheel carriage used on board ships in the 18th
and 19th centuries. Recoil
and repositioning was controlled with ropes and blocks
secured to a bulkhead wall. The cannon shot from a gun port and supported a
wide range of cannon barrels. Carriage
utilizes a threaded leveling screw
for vertical barrel alignment. Barrel is the Brooks 24PDR with one inch bore,
machined of 3" diameter solid
brass stock and known as the Brooks Golden
Gun.
