This bronze cannon, created in 1615 by Dutch artist Gerrit Koster I, is a prime example of early 17th-century military technology. The cannon’s intricate details, including the decorative bands encircling its length, speak to the artistry involved in its creation. It measures an impressive 331 centimeters long, a testament to its formidable power and the skill of the cannon maker.
Comments
This ship’s gun could fire massive iron balls weighing 18 pounds. The gun was primed by loading a ball with powder and a wad from the front, down the muzzle. The shot would be fired by lighting the fuse at the touch hole. To absorb the recoil, the 400 kilo cannon was mounted on a wheeled carriage. It took eight men to operate the gun.
