Description:

All hands on deck! This handsome model is a miniature reproduction of the cannons used aboard sailing warships from 1550 to 1850. Handcrafted from iron, it features a striking, sturdy carriage with intricate detail. Moving wheels reflect the function of the original, as they allowed the cannon to be repositioned as needed and to absorb the force of the recoil when fired. The cannon and chain rings on this model are also adjustable. Dimensions are 11 x 5 x 6 inches.

History:

This design dates to the Age of Sail, when sailing was the order of the day and dominated the waters of the world. Clippers, tall ships, and cannon-armed battle ships like this one criss-crossed the seven seas on a mission of global trade, exploration, and naval warfare. They sailed to glory, and glory can be yours with this icon of power, ideal for collectors and students of history.
