century and the mid-16th century, when its manufacture ceased in favour of cast iron artillery.<\/p><p>All the artillery found on the Mortella 2 wreck, as well as on Mortella 3, belong to the same type of pieces.<\/p><p>These cannons consisted of a tube, a breech and a wooden gun carriage. The guns were cylindrical tubes open at both ends, which could be loaded from the rear (breech loading). Their construction was usually similar to that of barrels, made of long iron staves of trapezoidal cross-section, joined by short cylindrical sleeves, reinforced with thick hoops overlapping the numerous seams of the sleeves. The breeches were loaded with powder; they could be made of staves and hoops, like the cannon, or of a single piece of wrought or cast iron. Wooden gun carriages were usually single-axial, made of a hollow half log reinforced with iron, to which the guns were attached. At the rear a hole could probably be present to drain water mixed with vinegar that was used to cool the guns when necessary.<\/p><p>At the rear end, the wooden gun carriage had a vertical extension; a wooden wedge was between it and the breech to prevent the breech from being thrown backwards when firing and to increase the grip with the gun. A pair of small wheels could be added under the forward part of the gun carriage to increase mobility; their diameter varied according to the position on the ship and the height of the deck on the port side. Aiming the gun was possible by simply lifting the rear of the gun with a wedge or rack.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section

cannonballs. In this respect it is illuminating to compare the stone cannonballs found in the Mortella 3 wreck and those found in the Lomellina wreck (built around 1504 and sunk in 1516). It has three diameters: 96 mm, 125 mm and a majority (about twenty cannonballs) with a diameter of between 220 and 230 mm and an average weight of between 16 and 17 kg.<br \/>The various petrographic analyses carried out during each archaeological campaign show that, with the exception of a few cannonballs made of serpentine, a metamorphic type of rock originating from northern Italy and typical of the coasts of the Gulf of Genoa, the nature of the rocks used for the manufacture of small calibre cannonballs is often associated with rocks of volcanic origin from southern Italy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a75731 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5a75731\"

the wooden stock is missing, destroyed by the fire caused when the ship was abandoned and\/or by marine xylophages.<\/p><p>The west anchor, discovered on the first day of the 2021 campaign, is located 4 m to the west; it is the smallest and is not completely preserved, as it is missing the ironwork, the upper part of the shank and the wooden stock.<\/p><p>From a morphological point of view, the Mortella anchors are very similar: they all have an arganeum, a convex oval-shaped head, the nuts (shanks) in the same plane as the arms, the arms are curved and the claws are triangular. The angles between the shank and the arms (measured at the withers) have very little variation, which could be due to imperfect forging or deformation during use of the anchor.<\/p><p>It is possible to estimate the weight of the anchors by multiplying their volume (calculated from the dimensions after subtracting the thickness of the concretion) by the density of the iron. It would range from about 490 kg for the Mortella 2 west anchor to 800 kg for the Mortella 3 west anchor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b074461 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b074461\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cd84816\" data-id=\"cd84816\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a9ede4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3a9ede4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">OTHER MATERIALS<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-196b5be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"196b5be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to the aforementioned materials, other remains of great interest have been found in the Mortella shipwreck, such as large quantities of ropes (most of them burnt), a small barrel, bovine bones and the bilge pump in Mortella 3.<\/p><p>The pumping system on Mortella 3 is probably a &#8220;lift pump&#8221; that lifts the water by the action of a piston.
