Artillery and Weapons in the Age of Sail
I’ve started a new chapter in my drawings. Alongside the ship illustrations, there will soon be illustrations of artillery and personal weapons as well. You’ll always be finding the colour versions here.
17th Century Naval Mortar (according to Landström)
In connection with the illustration for the ‘Bombenketch’, I drew this early ship’s mortar. It was really more of a field mortar mounted on a ship’s carriage. Later mortars were mounted on specially reinforced sections of the deck using a fixed frame. I am actually working on an illustration of this at the moment.
