Summary

Description
English: Design drawing of HNLMS Ever (1873), showing the hydraulic gun mount. The hydraulic mechanism allowed the crew to fix the gun in a lower position, increasing stability in rough weather. The same construction was widely used in English gunboats of the same type.
Nederlands: Ontwerp tekening van Zr.Ms. Ever (1873) met schroef lift voor kanon. Door het kanon naar beneden te verplaatsen werd de stabiliteit van de boot verhoogd. Dit mechanisme vond brede toepassing in Engelse kanonneerboten. Het was waarschijnlijk minder relevant in Nederland omdat praktisch elke kustplaats binnendoor te bereiken is.
