The gunboats
At the end of the 16th century, the dock fortification is provided with gunboats on all sides (a sign of the continuing internal wars). However, they are never employed and, when they are needed (during the French attack at the harbour in 1684), they turned out to be ineffective and obsolete.
This image of the 17th century city clearly shows the gunboat (designed as the desk of a flagship at anchor).
