The Guns of Jack Aubrey...
...if, of course, there had been a Jack Aubrey! Anyway, there are English ship guns consistent with the timeframe if the Patrick O'Brian "Master and Commander" series.
Love that Jack Aubrey! Those books by Patrick O'Brian are some of the best I've ever read. After I finish the 20th in the series I wait a few months and pick up the first one and start all over! Great action, great stories, great writing and wonderful historical research!
I read the whole series years ago but I never read the last Vol 21 unfinished novel that OBrian was writing when he died. I figured that would happen the same thing happened to Forester. I just love sea guns of all types. The idea of marines fighting from the ships tops with muskets, etc is really unbelievable. Not only being high up trying to fire much less load a ship's musket while being tossed by the wavess....think about it! Rob Drummond Hillsboro, NH
