Jun 10, 2018 at 8:03 comment added Pieter Geerkens Centuries of bell-making, for the massive cathedrals in particular, perfected the casting techniques that were later essential to constructing lightweight cannon. The lighter cannon developed in this way made for greater broadsides, faster loading, greater range (since the cannon could be mounter further from the waterline) and more-seaman-like sailing in battle - a quadrium of advantages that were overwhelming for over 400 years.
