If you are really keen?
The old gunners on Royal Navy ships and Pirates too used goose quills filled with black powder. It is not hard to get a cannon to fire, the key to accuracy is getting it to fire when you want it to.
On the Victory (Nelson's ship at Trafalgar) used a flint lock like a musket "remember boys fire on the crest"!
Sounds like fun. Do you have pictures?
