Information: Pirates used cannons on their ships as they were formidable weapons used to terrorise and capture their prey on the high seas. These cannons were typically made of cast iron and mounted on swivel carriages, allowing for easy manoeuvrability. They fired round cannonballs of various sizes, ranging from small grape shot to large cannonballs weighing several pounds. Pirates relied on these cannons for both offense and defence, using them to disable enemy ships, intimidate potential victims into surrendering without a fight, and ward off pursuing naval vessels.
