Cannons
With strong ammunition and good aim, you can sail the Caribbean and defy danger. All Cannons on a ship can be operated by any Pirate aboard. Every Cannon can fire any ammunition that the Pirate manning it has earned the skill to use and is carrying, so choose your crew with a weather eye to the armament they'll bring to your ship. To disengage from a Cannon at any time, hit Escape.

Cannon Fire Damage
Metal hurled at great speed is not healthy for hulls or rigging. Damage is dealt when ammo scores a hit on hull or sail. Mast and sails damaged in a battle slow a ship down. Any damage weakens a ship and can only be repaired in port, leaving you and your crew limping home at a crawl. If sufficient battle damage is done to any or all of the hull sections, a ship sinks.
