Cannons and Boats. This was the French's Artillery.

A variety of weapons were used. The standard was a smooth bore front loading gun made of cast iron or bronze. Galloper guns (3lb, 4lb and 6lb cannons), swivel canons were among the usual artillery pieces. Basically the following were used: Field Cannon, the Garrison Cannon, the Howitzer and the Mortar.
There are two excellent websites that describe the weapons and ammunition used. They have illustrations and photos so they are well worth looking at. "Weapons of the American Revolution" looks at all artillery used and "Yorktown Artillery 1781" looks at the Battle of Yorktown specifically.
