In 1973 a composite wood-iron swivel gun known as a 'Serpentine' was recovered from the Cattewater, Plymouth and a Tudor wreck, known as the Cattewater Wreck, subsequently partially excavated. In 1979 a film was made of the construction of a replica swivel gun by Colin Carpenter which showed the fabrication of the wrought iron gun barrel and oak bed, their fitting and subsequent firing.
