--------------

De aanwezigheid van een kanon aan boord van de huidige koopvaardijschepen is zeer zeldzaam. Vroeger werd een kanon gebruikt om een noodsituatie aan te geven of voor het overschieten van een lijn om in nood een verbinding te maken met aan ander schip of met de wal. Dit wordt nu op een gebruiksvriendelijkere manier gedaan met een pistool.

The presence of a gun on board the current merchant ships is very rare. In the past, a cannon is used to indicate an emergency situation, or for the transfer of a fire in an emergency line to a connection to another vessel or to the shore. This is now a user-friendly way with a gun.
