Naval Cannon, by John Munday. 32 Pages. Softbound. This fascinating little book is a complete survey of the armament of wooden sailing man-of-war and other vessels. It describes the examples like the cast brass and wrought iron pieces from the Mary Rose, the guns and carronades of the Victory, and the armament of HMS Warrior (1860). It also delves into such topics as the types of gun, sizes, weight of shot and range, details of carriages, and many more. One of its many highlights are the countless vintage black & white photographs and illustrations which, combined with the informative text, makes for a thoroughly interesting read for all.
