I am in the process of building my second canon and want to know , what are the differences between a naval and a fortress cannon? I did some surfing but did not find anything. Were there any distinguishing / tell-tail traits? Thanks in advance.
The cannon I'm building is a 1/6 scale replica of a model 1841 12 pounder field gun (much smaller than Papa Charlie's cannon). I bored it to use .58 cal balls as they are readily available for black powder firearms. I have completed the barrel and have just gotten started on making the carriage. Couple of photos attached.Please post some pictures of your builds as I would like to do a few cannons
