Summary

[edit]
Description 9 pdr Blomefield Cannon of the 1787 pattern on a 1780 pattern carriage at the Chatham Historic Dockyard, 17 February 2020. This design was a great advance on previous cannon, being much stronger and more effective. They were manufactured in 8' (as pictured) and 9' lengths and were widely used in the French Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815). In 74 gun Third Rates - the heart of the battlefleet - they were positioned on the Quarterdeck and Forecastle.
