Description

About the Cannon Jolle

The Cannon Jolle is a coastal gunboat belonging to the Russian Navy, that originated from Sweden. The ship was designed by the Swedish shipbuilder of English origin – Fredrik Chapman. During the Swedish War between 1788 – 1790, the Russian Navy managed to capture Swedish gunboats. They soon learnt to build similar ships based on the design of these gunboats, and replicated them for their own navy.

The construction of the ship took less time and was also less costly, due to the design. The ship was designed so that it could be manoeuvred by both sail and ore, with small crew on board. The only disadvantage was that there was often a lack of sleeping cabins for the crew, with many of them having to sleep on the upper deck even during bad weather. The ship was fixed with a large caliber canon, which was fitted to the rear of the ship.
