<!--QuoteBegin-PartyPyrate+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PartyPyrate)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->even if i am wrong about that, the guns on the ship are all placed too low and in the wrong places. the ship would get filled up.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
1. Cannon ports were closed when under way and were only opened in battle. Watch POTC and you'll see Barbossa order the ports to be opened AFTER DECIDING TO FIGHT.
2. Secondly, Bilge Pumps were used to remove excess water.

Not if you appreciate the finer points of shipbuilding, and anyway, we're not sitting around talking about the beauty of ships.
