O&S - spiked
The figure shows the spiking of a gun. John Paul Jones, during his 1788 raid of Whitehaven intended to disable the defence guns in this way - a standard tactic of the time. (Spiking is driving a soft iron nail into the touchhole of a cannon, thus preventing it being fired. A skilled gunner should be able to remove the spike, but that takes time and the touchhole can be damaged)
