HMS Victory broadside in the daylight
« on: September 21, 2009, 10:24:16 AM »
I stumbled across this today on Youboobtube and thought you guys might get a kick out of it.  The HMS VICTORY fires a broadside in daylight hours to mark the creation of the National Museum of the Royal Navy.   I just wonder how much powder they  consumed on this?

Enjoy:

I always enjoy the sound of car alarms going off after I shoot cannon!
