    The carronade was a short-range cannon developed in the late 18th century for use on Royal Navy ships. It was cast iron and smoothbore, designed to serve as a powerful weapon against enemy ships and crews at close range. While initially successful, carronades were later replaced as naval warfare shifted to longer-range artillery engagements.

    The carronade was a short smoothbore, cast iron cannon,

    developed for the Royal Navy by the Carron Company, an


    ironworks in Falkirk, Scotland, UK. Also known as a smasher,
    it was used from the 1770s to the 1850s. Its main function was
    to serve as a powerful, short-range anti-ship and anti-crew
    weapon. While considered very successful early on, carronades
    eventually disappeared as long-range naval artillery led to fewer
    close-up engagements.
