Gunport
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- The opening in the side of the ship or in a turret through which the gun fires or protrudes.
- Early in the sixteenth century, to facilitate the loading of cargo, an ingenious french shipwright named descharges invented the hublot, an opening in a ship’s side fitted with a hinged waterproof door. he probably didn’t know it, but he had facilitated revolutions in naval architecture and tactics even greater than the introduction of wind propulsion. until then, naval combat had been fought like land battles, with ships laying alongside and boarding to fight on deck. anti-personnel gunpowder weapons had been mounted on forward and after-castles and along the bulwarks, but only light guns could be used for fear of making the vessel capsize. scottish shipwrights were the first to realize that, by using hublots for artillery to fire through, they could move the gun-decks down into the bowels of the ship, placing heavier weapons well below the ship’s center-of-gravity, where they steadied rather than destabilized. in 1511, the idea was implemented by king james iv of scotland for his new flagship, great michael, which, in addition to three long bow guns and about three hundred bulwark-mounted anti-personnel weapons, carried twenty-four large cannon firing broadsides through hublots which the scots re-named “ports” after the latin porta (door). this started a naval arms race and, a year later, henry viii of england adopted the concept for great harry, which carried 141 light pieces and forty-three heavy guns. shipwrights did not immediately realize that gunports near the waterline posed a dangerous hazard. in 1545, henry’s heavily-gunned mary rose shipped water through open lower-gundeck ports, heeled over and sank, as did the swedish vasa in 1628.
