HISTORYThe great Antonio Barceló designed gunboats during the Great Siege of Gibraltar in 1779, where they proved to be terrific rivals despite their small size. They were fast, manoeuvrable, and armed with a large 24” cannon in the bow. Their effectiveness was decisive in gting near the coast, especially with light winds and calm seas, as they could move by sail or oar.
