The person who fires the cannon on a ship is typically referred to as the "gunner." The gunner is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the ship's artillery, ensuring that the cannons are fired accurately and safely during combat. In some naval contexts, this role may also encompass a broader responsibility for the ship's weapons systems.

Why is the cannon roped to the ship on the HMS victory?

Today springs are used to check recoil, but in the days of HMS Victory the cannon were on wheeled carriages, with ropes to stop them from recoiling too far when fired. Also, the ship pitched when sailing, especially in the rough seas, and the term "loose cannon" originally referred to a ship's cannon loosed from its rope and rolling dangerously on the deck.
