Record 1 2023-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Ships and Boats
  • Bombs and Grenades
DEF

A flat-bottomed wooden sailing vessel intended to carry one or more mortars and to launch bombs.

CONT

Bomb Vessel: Developed by the French to battle the Barbary corsairs, these vessels used high trajectory mortars instead of conventional guns. The hull was strengthened to take the weight of one or more mortars and the foremast was completely omitted. Late 18th century bomb vessels would have had a full three-masted rig, and some were used for perilous polar expeditions since their sturdily built hulls would hold up well in the ice.

OBS

Some bomb vessels were used for perilous polar expeditions since their sturdily built hulls would hold up well in the ice.
