Dutch cannon weights

Nico Brinck, who is a ship's captain, kindly provided me with some information about Dutch gun weights. He says that chambered pieces are the same as drakes. This is what he provided:

BRONZE:

  • 6 pdrs, 1725-2243 pounds ; drakes 520-1245 pounds
  • 12 pdrs, 2400-3640 pounds ; drakes 1075-1592 pounds
  • 18 pdrs, 3749-4060 pounds ; drakes-no info
  • 24 pdrs, 4075-5378 pounds ; drakes 2770 pounds (only one example)
