Bomb ketches were difficult to sail. They had two large mortars on the foredeck in place of the foremast. The bomb ketches had to have a massive and firm hull, in order to withstand the recoil of the cannons with their heavy projectiles.
These ships were used by the French in the 17th and 18th centuries to bombard port towns on the Barbary coast more efficiently. The bomb ketch La Salamandre was launched in 1752 in Toulon.
