Pity I DON`T speak Swedish! Fascinating non the less. Thanks Vasa (AND Drach!).

This came up as a recommendation after watching Dracs video yesterday, go figure. The Cannon firing is incredible and the damage mortifying just as described in Dracs video. Our forefathers must have had balls the size of those cannon balls to stand and receive fire from a cannon.

The cannon is an exact replica of course. It is not often that you see one fired with a full strength charge of powder and an iron cannon-ball as well. The major risk is the fragmented bits of wood & there is no escape on a crowded gun-deck.

Great slo-mo of the cannon firing. Like others I came here after watching Drachinifel's recent upload. I would have liked to know what was being said; I thought I knew some Swedish after watching the Swedish Chef on the Muppet Show back in the day, but it seems not...

Awesome!! Deadly part of history! It is interesting to note the damage ... wouldn't sink a wooden ship but I sure would not want to be on the receiving end!!!

That was the really big change in naval warfare in the second half of the nineteenth century. Barring fires, NOTHING sank a wooden ship, save hot shot (hollow cannon ball filled with molten iron, just before being loaded into the muzzle) hitting a magazine. Wooden ships just took the hits; until, they were taken by a boarding action or struck their colours. Many ships that struck their colours were commissioned into the navy that they surrendered to and several British and French ships went back and forth several times. The Russo-Japanese war was not an unpleasant shock for just being a European power being beaten by an Asian country. It included decisive naval battles where no ships were taken as prizes. Steel ships could take a lot more abuse than wooden ships, but the number of explosive loaded shells spat out by the quick firing guns meant that ships actually sank before they could be captured.

I would love to make a scale model of this cannon, in bronze. Are there any drawings or better still stl files available? Great video! English subtitles would be even better.

Дистанция выстрела 30-50 метров судя по видео. Интересует результ выстрела с расстояния гораздо большего, 2-3 кабельтовых т.е. 300-600 метров. Ведь эксперимент проводится как морской бой?

Check out the "Canon ball fired at oak ships hull" or search for the test on the fregat "Jylland". They used one of her own guns firing several shots and a replicated section of her hull in the military training area "Oksboel.

@@paavobergmann4920 - I agree, it's quite the shock to see it. Though to be honest it's not really a surprise because I did devour the Hornblower series of books and the description of sea battles and aftermath are quite vividly explained. The TV/Video series was tame in comparison, and I absolutely love that series (I own the full set on dvd).

@@lunsmann Yes, the Hornblower books, I love them. And actually "Master and Commander" is not all that bad in giving yoiu a feeling of what it´s like in the gun deck. But still. I saw modern guns fire, and this is, performance wise, not quite as far away as i thought.

@@paavobergmann4920 - the real limiting factor with the old technology was range. Engagements were short range, which meant the other limiting factor (accuracy due to smooth bore barrels) wasn't an issue.
