How many cannons were there on HMS Victory?

Answer 1

When the HMS Victory was launched in 1765, she carried 100 guns:

30 x 42 pounders on the lower gun deck,

28 x 24 pounders on the middle gun deck,

30 x 12 pounders on the upper gun deck,

10 x 6 pounders on the quarter deck,

2 x 6 pouders on the Forecastle.

By the time of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Victory's guns had gone through several changes:

The 42 pounders were changed to 32 pounders and back to 42 pounders and back to 32.

6 pounders were changed to 12 pounders and two more were added to the quarter deck.

Two 32 pounder carronades were added to the forecastle and then changed to 68 pounder carronades (making 104 guns on the Victory at Trafalgar).
