Loading and firing cannons
Overview
The use of cannons on ships are introduced with the High Seas booster. Different types of Galleons may mount various numbers of cannon. Cannon may be dismantled and removed from a ship.
Cannons
Crafted
There are two types of cannons that can be crafted by Blacksmiths:
-

Cannon ammunition is crafted by Blacksmiths. Cannons can only be loaded with one ammunition type at a time. They can be dismantled from the ship.
Placing Cannons
In order to place a cannon on a Ship you need to look for an outlined tile on the either side and bow of your ship (golden bullet for Gargish, square wood for the others). Double click your 
cannon deed and then target the cannon station, and if you are close enough the cannon will be placed.

Torch
-
Torch for lighting the fuse of the cannons. These can be purchased from an NPC Provisioner.
A crafted Match was previously required. However after Publish 104 it was replaced by a Torch.
Operation
Once you have your cannons placed on your Ship, you can use them by one of two methods: By context menu or by double clicking the cannon itself.
If you use the context menu you can do things somewhat faster, where double clicking on a cannon gives you a pop-up menu, which might be better for a dedicated cannon worker. Also, if you hover over a cannon, a Tooltip will inform you on its status.
To firing your cannon:
- Load with Cannonball/Grapeshot, Powder Charge and Fuse Cord
- Prime (takes about 15 seconds)
- Fire (You can fire all cannons on port or broadside by saying 'Fire Port Broadside' (left) or 'Fire Starboard Broadside' (right)
Tips:
- You can only fire cannons if you are within reach and have a torch in your pack
- On most ships one person can reach at least 4 of the cannons at one time
- You can prime multiple cannons at one time
- Another person (with ramrod and torch) can assist with priming the cannons, speeding up the process
- Cannons lose durability after use just like weapons/armor, be sure to check your cannons status occasionally and repair them or you will lose it
