Many many moons ago sailing ships ruled the high seas. Pirates sailed the seas in search of riches. Many times they would happen upon a ship carrying Jewels and Gold. They would then approach the ship and a battle would ensue. The pirates would pillage and plunder the ship and steal the cargo. Many ships had cannons to defend against such actions. Each cannon used a ball. This was known as a cannon ball. These cannons were properly placed around the ships gunnels so as to aim out at any danger that may approach. One problem with the cannon balls was that when the high seas would become rough the balls would roll all around on the deck. The ships captains being the creative types they were devised a solution to this problem. They made a device that would hold the cannon balls in place next to each cannon, leaving the cannon balls readily accesible.
