Either one or two mortars were usually placed aboard a bomb vessel which could be one of two types of vessels, either a specially built ketch (ketch: a two-masted, fore-and-aft-rigged sailboat with a mizzenmast smaller than the foremast) or, as is the case here, a converted three-masted vessel where the foremast had been removed, to provide a good deck space forward for the mortars. <BR> </BR> As a Captain in France's Corps des Galere, de Passebon was intimately familiar with this type ship and he is reported to have participated during the French bombardment of Genoa in 1684 , aboard the "la Perle" . </BR> The cannon are decorated with crown and globe containing three fleur-de-lis, figures representing the French royal coat of arms in the eighteenth century.
