The first ship known to have used cannons was the "Burgundian ship," a type of vessel utilized in the late 14th century. However, the earliest recorded instance of a ship equipped with cannons is generally attributed to the "great ship" of the Venetian fleet around the 1370s. These innovations marked the beginning of naval warfare's transformation, as cannons allowed for more effective combat at sea.
