Full Description
Artillery guns were a common feature in most of the trading ships that sailed in the Indian Ocean during the 17th 18th Centuries. Sailors on board of that such vessel were equipped with different fire arms for security reasons. A large hoard of such metal bullets was recovered from the Avondster ship.
