As depicted in Ivan Lapper's meticulous reconstruction drawing, the upper gun deck is shown bustling with action and vitality. During the years 1542-6 and again in 1549, when tensions between England and France were high, Pendennis Castle stood as an unwavering sentinel guarding the approaches to Falmouth Harbour alongside its sister fortress at St Mawes. The strategic positioning of these fortifications ensured that any potential threats would be met head-on. Lapper's graphic illustration skillfully captures the essence of Tudor military defense. The cannon-lined deck exudes power and readiness for battle. Each artillery piece stands as a testament to both technological advancements and human ingenuity during this era.
