32 PDR Ships Cannon

The full size 32 pounder cannon weighs 3.5 tones - 2.75 tones for the gun barrel and 0.75 tones for the wooden gun carriage. It fired a 32 pound (14.7 kg) ball, usually propelled by an 11 pound (5 kg) gunpowder charge giving a muzzle velocity of 1600 feet per second (487 meters per second). Fired from the lower gun deck, with the muzzles some 2m above the waterline, this gave a point blank (fired flat) range of approximately 1000 feet (300m).
