A Dutch bronze carronade, dated 1803, with pierced threaded pommel (for adjusting elevation) and securing ring to the moulded cascabel, aft and front sights to the tapered two-stage barrel terminating in a moulded muzzle with 7 inch bore, the base with integral cast trunnion ring, the barrel indistinctly cast with a ribbon inscribed ..AFSCHE REPBLIEK near the first reinforce and AMST. A. 1803 adjacent to vent hole, (erosion and wear to one side) 149cm long, 35cm maximum diameter. Provenance: The property of a private collector. Recovered from the wreck of an early 19th century Dutch East Indiaman off the west coast of Africa which was lost on a return trip from Batavia with a cargo including redundant cannon for smelting, the current lot was part of the operational armament of the vessel. Purchased directly from the salvers circa 1980. The carronade (named after the foundry in Carron, Scotland) was developed in around 1770 by the Royal Navy and had the advantages of providing increased firepower with a significant reduction in weight compared to standard muzzle loaders of the period. This was achieved by reducing the charge (typically rated the next calibre down from the bore) and improving the tolerances between the projectile and bore to reduce ÔwindageÕ. The result was a cannon which weighed around a quarter of the weight of the standard model of the same calibre however the range of the projectile was reduced to less than half. The carronade, due to its shorter barrel and lighter weight, also required a smaller gun crew. The Royal Navy soon realised that these advantages meant that the firepower on the upper decks of a vessel could be significantly increased by replacing smaller calibre long muzzle guns with carronades. This additional firepower became particularly advantageous during close quarter action particularly when grapeshot was employed to literally clear the decks. This, and the ability for the larger projectiles to create devastating splinters causing horrific wounds resulted in the carronade often being called the ÔmurdererÕ. The carronade was also ideal for deployment on merchant vessels as it provided an effective deterrent against close quarter action. The current lot was employed in this capacity on a vessel which was lost on a return leg from Batavia with a cargo including redundant bronze artillery for smelting. The inscription and date indicates that it was cast during the period of the Dutch Batavian Republic (1795-1806) when the Netherlands was essentially an annexe of the French Empire under Napoleon.
