Meaning of con 100 cañones por banda by furoya





furoya

con 100 cañones por banda
  65

Nonsense based on the poem "The pirate song" by José de Espronceda, where it says "with ten cannons for band / wind aft under full sail, / does not cut the sea, but flies / a Brigantine sailing ship". Obviously, a Brig cannot be armed with 200 cannons; by size and weight. The only hundred that appears in the poem is in "and have yielded a hundred Nations banners to my feet."; that will be another overstatement, but more poetic.
