Fort Walton Gunade
« on: September 28, 2009, 11:06:46 AM »
Hello All,
I just returned from Florida and spotted this Gunade in Fort Walton Beach.  The plaque called it a carronade but it has trunnions.  It was 6' long with a 5 1/4" bore at the muzzel.  I could not really tell if it was cupped.  Does anyone know if 5 1/4" equals an 18 pounder?  I found no markings on it.  It was spiked but the bore is open.
