Loading and Firing an 18th Century Cannon
Welcome to Knox's Artillery, a Revolutionary War Living History Group. Join us as we show you how to properly load and fire an 18th Century, black powder, muzzle loading cannon. Cannons like this were seen all around the world in many conflicts including the American Revolutionary War. The drill being conducted accounted for the fact that it was being done with 5 members. An ideal crew has 7. For example the gun captain commanded the gun as well as fired the piece, typically the linstock would be the sole job of a crew member.
