2.6 Cannons

from Place-Royale from today to yesterday, Quebec city. (videos) · host Musée de la civilisation

The Royal Battery is made up of embrasures, or openings, that house cannons of various calibres: 24, 18 or 6 pounds (11 kg, 8 kg or 2.75 kg). Each calibre corresponds to the weight of cannonball the cannon can fire. The heaviest cannonballs have enough impact to sink a ship. The lightest ones can be loaded quickly, which is essential for close-range fire. The cannons on the Royal Battery today are reproductions. They were a gift from France, which still has the moulds that were used to make the originals. Start the video Map of Place-Royale
