To fire a cannon, hold a Large piece (regardless of ship size) such that the entire base side of the Large touches one of the two long sides of your ship. The Large piece indicates your possible target area. If the object you wish to shoot at lies in the area covered by the Large piece, and is not obstructed by anything, then you can hit that target. |

When a ship is hit from cannon fire, it takes one point of damage. You can use some form of chits or other markers to indicate ships that have already taken some damage. The damage stays with the ship the remainder of the game until it is repaired. For large and medium ships, make sure to move the damage counters along with the ship whenever you move it. |

A ship is Disabled ''(stood upright with its cargo stacked in a tree on top of it)'' when it has taken damage equal to its size. A Disabled ship cannot take any further damage until it has been repaired. However, it also cannot perform any other actions besides repairs. |
