The carronade, the gun crew prepare to fire the 64 pound Carronade into the stern windows of the French flagship Bucentaure. The study is planned to show the gun crew closed up waiting the order to fire. Victory successfully raked the French flagship. The devastation was said to have disabled Bucentaure causing 400 casualties. Nevertheless, the crew of Bucentaure fought on with great courage until the ship was dismasted and a complete wreck.
Most of the research has been completed.
