About

A place for me to keep the names I see on cannons. Leave me alone. I already know I'm a geek.

"'Nothing can exceed the cannon's noble roar,' said the gunner. 'Squibs and burning tar-barrels, even sky-rockets at half a crown apiece, is mere frippery in comparison of a well-loaded gun.'"

--Patrick O'Brian, The Truelove, 98

Thanks for this list. I'm a songwriter, trying to write a song from an old cannon's point of view. I've been looking for a list like this of cannon names. I wish it were a hundred names longer! (but all I need is one or two good ones). Love it.

:) Thanks, I'm glad you like it. You've just reminded me of a bunch that I heard of from the Civil War (the ones on this list are only those from the O'Brian novels).
