Description

This is the broadside view of the U.S.S. Constitution. The cannons on the top deck are smaller than the main cannons below them. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

Beautiful photo of rigging, construction and the 2 part gun ports. The size of the planks in the hull suggests their thickness, which made the hull impervious to cannon balls at battle ranges, giving her the nickname "Old Ironsides". Larger guns below due to center of gravity and design questions. They also had better chance of hitting at/just below the water line in that position. Smaller upper guns for raking the opponent ship's decks and destroying rigging. Thanks for posting! :)
