[joto]

caseshot?

[scenic]

Yes thanks for that. I've also found canister and patarero but I think the latter is the cannon

[nonomaybe]

I've also come across the possible answers beginning with C but have yet to find a connection with destruction of the ships rigging, they seem to have been used to "sweep the decks" of the enemy prior to boarding.

The answer begins with lang....
I'm sure you'll be able to find it in a good dictionary.

marge, I have tried to track down the answer using your clue but it's difficult, not having a good dictionary. Have you any other hints, (as broad as you like !?)

[marje]

The 4 remaining letters are a word in their own right and it means an extreme state of anger. Hope you find it with this clue.
