Carronade
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- A short, smoothbore, cast iron naval cannon, used from the 1770s to the 1850s as a powerful, short-range anti-ship and anti-crew weapon.
- A short gun, capable of carrying a large ball, and useful in close engagements at sea. it takes its name from the large iron-foundry on the banks of the carron, near falkirk, in scotland, where this sort of ordnance was first made, or the principle applied to an improved construction. shorter and lighter than the common cannon, and having a chamber for the powder like a mortar, they are generally of large calibre, and carried on the upper works, as the poop and forecastle.
- A short-barreled, very large caliber, muzzle-loaded gun for use at short ranges. named after the foundry at carron in scotland. prior to 1817, carronades were not counted when rating warships.

- Once a short deck placed in the fore-part of a ship above the upper deck; it was usually terminated, both before and behind, in vessels of war by a breast-work, the foremost part forming the top of the beak-head, and the hind part, of the fore-chains. it is now applied in men-of-war to that part of the upper deck forward of the after fore-shroud, or main-tack block, and which is flush with the quarter-deck and gangways. also, a forward part of a merchantman under the deck, where the seamen live on a platform. some vessels have a short raised deck forward, which is called a top-gallant forecastle ; it extends from the bow to abaft the fore-mast, which it includes.
- (pronounced foak-sel) [1] a deck above the forward end of the main deck. [2] formerly, crew accommodation below that deck. [3] the term now applies to the berths for deck crews wherever they may be located. often abbreviated fo’c’sle.
