English: 'Cerberus' (1779); 'Alcide' (1779); 'Cyclops' (1779) Plan showing a plan and side elevation for an 18 pounder carronade. It shows the carronade mounted on the 'inside' principle that was abandoned due to the threat of setting the rigging on fire. The three-step elevation system was also abandoned. The plan is annotated for Cerberus (1779), a 32-gun Fifth Rate Frigate and Cyclops (1779), 26-gun Sixth Rate. The Alcide (1779), a 74-gun Third Rate, two-decker, was not fitted with the system. An Admiralty Order for the Enterprize class, of which the Cyclops was one, dated 2 February 1780 ordered the quarterdeck armament to include 4x 18 pdr carronades and the forecastle deck 2x 18 pdr carronades. The Amazon class, of which Cerberus was one, were also fitted with 18 pdr carronades. From Tyne & Wear Archives Service, Blandford House, Blandford Square, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4JA. |
