USS CONSTITUTION MAIN DECK GUN STATION

lesterpalifka · Sep 10, 2018

I have bought a black powder Constitution deck cannon. I want to build a gun station to fire it. anyone have some plans for this area of the ship. this is the cannons on the weather deck of the ship. Also anyone have some accurate pics or plans for the carriage? I want to build a working accurate gun station........thanks.

The book ‘The 44-Gun Frigate USS Constitution by Karl Heinz Marquardt’ has all the drawings and information you need to build a first-class gun station. Good luck with the build.
