Carriage Gun- The
cannon on the galley was in the bow, enabling fire to either side. One
galley, Lee was armed with an 18-pounder and a 12-pounder, a
carriage-mounted, muzzle loading cannon which fired round iron shot. The
weight of the shot determined the size of the cannon (ie- Lee fired
18-pound cannon balls.) The range was at least one-half mile. The
Washington had two 12-pounders and the Bulloch had two
9-pounders
