A 3Pdr. Iron Carronade
Early 19th Century

Of tapering three-stage form with raised mouldings, touch-hole on raised integral block, knob-shaped cascabel with medial ring and integral breeching loop above, and plain trunnions (russet overall)
111 cm. barrel, 7 cm. bore

Footnotes

The carronade was first manufactured in 1778 by the Carron Iron Company at Falkirk in Scotland, and remained in service in many varied forms until the 1870s. Designed for short range naval engagements, it fired a low velocity hollow shot designed to cause maximum damage on impact with the side of a ship. See H.L. Blackmore, The Armouries of the Tower of London, I, Ordnance, 1976, p. 223
