[edit] Cannons

What's the source for the Dutchman having 48 cannons? The IGN article states 36 cannons, and the schematics show around that number - Kwenn 07:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The schematics are not entirely correct. In the movie, the Dutchman have 48 sideboard cannons + 2 triple cannons on the bow. --89.172.230.135 07:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

• Can you provide visual evidence (i.e. screenshots)? - Kwenn 15:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Carefully count cannons on sideboard.--89.172.199.121 08:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Every where I look it says the Dutchman has 40 sideboard cannons and 2 triple bow chasers -admiral James Kaizer 05.55 11 dec.

Where did you look?? The schematics 52 sideboard cannons, on these pictures [1], [2], [3] (they are used in the wikipedia article as sources) you can see 23 guns on one side installed and the empty gunports for two additional guns on the quarterdeck, and the two guns at the helm were seen in some shots in DMC, so she has for sure 52 sideboard guns and two bow chasers. Additionaly, the wikipedia article clames that she has two stern chasers and give a picture in the Visual Guide as their source. El Chupacabra 13:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

P.S. The "Armament" section of the wikipedia article is longer and more detailed then our one. We should copy it into our article. El Chupacabra 13:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Never mind then. On wikipedia it says 48 sidboard and 2 triple. And I must have rememerd 48 insted of 42 up there. Still I don't think there are stern chasers and why would the dutchmen run from any one-User:admiral James Kaizer

[edit] BIG question

When they were in boarding action during the whole maelstrom thing, why didn't they teleport into the Pearl?--Bugger| ^{Bug Me}_{| Bugged} 04:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I think because they are not able to teleport. I assume that only Jones is able to teleport himself or anybody else, but the ordinary crewmen aren't. El Chupacabra 10:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe the EITC wants the crew to fight like their own marines?

[edit] How do you know the type of the cannons?

How do you know that the Dutchman's cannons are 6 pound cannons? Warship 22:36, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
