Default Re: rigging your cannons

Don: On the Victory, breeching line and train tackle were both on the ceiling (bulkhead). The breeching line is at the same level as the gun's breeching line ring, on the gun's breech end, and train tackle is directly above it ( at the side of and halfway up the gun port) about six inches from the port's edge. This is from a photo of the 12# guns on the upper gun deck.

At your scale, I agree with Gary. Use best estimate, but make them all the same height.
